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.

Another Excellent Baldacci Thriller

If you like action packed thrillers, this novel is for you. The Will Robie character is developed here with his FBI partner, Agent Vance. Julie Gedde, a 14 year old girl with a lot of problems to overcome, is the third major character. The plot takes unexpected turn after unexpected turn. The narrators, male and female, are excellent. We listened to this Will Robie novel out of order but that was OK. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We love Baldacci.

Absolutely outstanding!

I loved the Camel Club, even with its overdone drama, so I took a chance on this after listening to the short story involving the Camel Club and Will. I just loved this character and his interactions with others. Can't wait to read the next one.

Enjoyable

Very slow start but I guess it was necessary so that you’d have a good background foundation. After that the story picks up & you won’t want to put it down. The ending was transparent but still enjoyable.

Great book but dump the sound effects

The story was very good and the audio was also good. My only complaint is the distracting sound effects.
