The Innocent

Description

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, America’s best hitman must rescue a teenage runaway and investigate her parents’ murder.

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 pull the trigger. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and is on the run.

Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a fourteen-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 his professional training, Robie rescues her and finds he can’t walk away. He needs to help her.

The more Robie learns about the girl, the more he’s convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that involves 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.
