From Chapter 3 of GIDEON:
“What do you think, Koenig?” Cairn led the dog across the half-empty lot to an expanse of browned grass. Summer was only quarter past, but it had already bitten downstate Illinois hard. The air shimmered beneath a sky baked dull milky-blue, and nary a breeze riffled the banners strung along the diner roof. “Not quite as flat as Kansas, but close.” She stopped at the edge of the burnt lawn, and fed out the leash so the dog could sniff around. “Long, straight road. Easy to follow someone. Colorado, you could get lost in the curves.” But Colorado had been a day and a half ago. She felt as though she’d had a target painted on her back since then.
Yes, Koenig is based on who you think he's based on.
