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.

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.

Another fun ride from Baldacci

We liked it, but didnt love the ending. It seems the author was trying to tie all of the parts together and there was too many coincidences it felt forced and fell flat for us.

The Innocent

Very well done and interesting. Hard to put down. It did get a tad long and had a few too many characters and details. Main complaint was that all the female characters sounded exactly the same. Male voice was perfect for this type of book. Highly recommend it.

Sound effects

I didn’t care for the sound affects. It was a great story and should not need to be embellished
