An Instant National Bestseller!

Once a black ops assassin known as Orphan X, Evan Smoak broke with the program and went deep underground, using his operational rules and skills to help the truly desperate with nowhere else to turn.

A young woman is kidnapped off the New York City subway, clearly in danger and in need of aid. Evan is determined to help but with no name and few clues, his first challenge is to track her down.
Once he does, Evan offers his help―and sets out finding the young men responsible. But the woman insists that Evan abandon his usual methods―no vengeance and, in particular, no killing. Given the mounting incoming threats from all sides, this will prove to be Evan’s most dangerous mission yet, one that will test the limits of his skills and abilities.

Racing from coast to coast, from the poorest corners of society to the richest, Orphan X must figure out a way to protect the innocent, avenge the victimized, and balance justice with a measure of mercy.
