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 Wild Will Roby Thriller!

I found this installment of the Will Roby series very enjoyable as we journeyed across the country. Baldacci paints a vivid story. The sound effects took some getting used to, but not a big deal. Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy did an admirable job with the narration. Ready to start the next volume in the series!

If you like excitement, this book is for you!

I rarely find a book I can't put down to take a break. One of the best books I've read. Keep them coming, David.

Great story!

well done intertwining plot with everything tied up by the end. if this was a movie, I would have said wow, so well cast..the characters were wonderful. lots of suspense and excitement. Loved this book!!@

Couldn’t Wait to Finish/Didn’t Want It To End

Couldn’t Wait to Finish/Didn’t Want It To End. Will continue this series as Will Robie is an honorable man, unlike many that were in Washington. He may kill you, but do it truthfully in true defense of our country.

cut the music - this is a good story

this was a well-written good story and can stand on its own. I find the music unnecessary and irritating.

Great Read

This was a well researched book. Easy to follow. I liked the characters, though Julie was a tad unbelievable. Would make a good series.

Give it a minute.....then......WOW!

I started and finished this book in ONE DAY! How can you pause it? It is intense and thought provoking. I played it doing chores, fixing dinner, putting makeup on etc. I’m hooked. Onto “The Hit”! My husband may divorce me...haha. Really good.

Innocent

I liked the book a lot. It was introduced to me by a friend, now I’m getting the whole series.

Pretty darn Good.

I like the story, as much as you can like something of this nature. the reader is good, but he has an older sounding voice for this particular character.

Outstanding read or listen to like the narration

Would highly recommend this audio book to one and all!The characters voices were so outstanding and fit the actions of all who are involved in this book
