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.

Good book series

Great book with a strong lead character. Love the use of the different voices with the drop in background sounds and music.

Very good read

Just another one of David Baldacci's fabulous books. He is one of the three authors that I'll buy a book before it's released and no I'm going to like it

Excellent writing, excellent narration!

Really loved it kept you involved and guessing. The narration by these two is the best of all the audible books I have enjoyed listening to! Highly recommend excellent!

Another Baldacci series that has a great beginning

Where does The Innocent: A Novel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

When I choose to listen to a book more than once, I feel that I have a winner. This entire series is excellent and will not disappoint.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The story was fast paced and definitely kept my attention without even realizing I was moving rapidly through the book!

What about Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s performance did you like?

The voices of McLarty/Cassidy are two of my favorites. I don't get some of the criticism regarding their narrative style, very clear, fresh and believable.

Loved this book!

All was great, but could have done without the background music and war or gun sounds.

WOW

What an Awesome book!!! I really enjoyed Roby is such a great guy he could protect me

a thriller to the end

lots of twists and turns involving a great number of interesting characters who impacted Will Robie

Killer

It was a fun listen. It was a bit of a stretch at times but it often is in this genre.

Highly enjoyable,

Fantastic job on this book. Sound effects added to the audio experience. The characters were well done and the storyline kept me listening. Great job.

Great book

Nararators were awesome... Story was great! The only thing I did not care for, At All, was the background noise/props.. It was sooo distracting! Thank goodness it was not through the entire book, however, at the beginning, I almost returned the book because of it. Thankfully I was able to tune it out. Please don't let there be this awful distraction in the next book. Like I said... Love Will Robie
