Publisher's Summary

America has enemies - ruthless people that the police, the FBI, even the military can't stop. That's when the U.S. government calls on Will Robie, a stone-cold hitman who never questions orders and always nails his target.

But Will Robie may have just made the first - and last - mistake of his career....

It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. But something about this mission doesn't seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable: He refuses to kill. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and must escape from his own people.

Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a wayward teenage girl, a 14-year-old runaway from a foster home. But she isn't an ordinary runaway - her parents were murdered, and her own life is in danger. Against all of his professional habits, Robie rescues her and finds he can't walk away. He needs to help her.

Even worse, the more Robie learns about the girl, the more he's convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that may explain her parents' deaths and stretch to unimaginable levels of power. Now, Robie may have to step out of the shadows in order to save this girl's life... and perhaps his own.

All round good fun

I thought this was an overall good read. The storyline was a bit convoluted at times, but enjoyable nonetheless. I will definitely try another book by this author. I liked the two voice narration as well. Sound effects caught me off guard.

Fantastic read

This book had it all! It was so engaging and kept me listening in almost one sitting! I didn't get much housework done because all I wanted to do was listen to the book. It was an easy quick read! Can't wait to dig in to the next book

Awesome Read!

The story is awesome. The theatrics from the performers and the sound effects bring the story more alive then if I just read the book.

Excellent!

David Baldacci is able to combine an exciting sometime violent story with kind, likeable and believable characters. The narrators are excellent and really add to the enjoyment of the story. I found this audiobook better than an action movie.

A good mix

The extra character development makes this story work much better than some of the other series. #Audible1
