'OUTSTANDING IN EVERY WAY' LEE CHILD
______________

'Do you need my help?'

They called him Orphan X. Evan Smoak used to be a government secret weapon.
Then he ran and became the man you call on when you've nowhere else to turn.

This time it's a teenage runaway called Joey.
Like Evan she's no innocent: she was brought up inside the same programme that raised him.

Now Evan must find Joey before those hunting her do.
Which is where the trouble begins.

Because this might not be about Joey at all.
And if it's not, then it must be about Evan.

But finding out why could kill them both ...

Critic Reviews

If Bond and Bourne had a lovechild, Evan would be that end product. We're treated to a superb combination of suspense, action, and plot twists from cover to cover.
Nail-biting, twisty thriller . . . [that will] appeal to devotees of Robert Ludlum's "Bourne" series
This is a great novel ... Do not miss this one
As well-done as the rest of the series and bloody good fun
A serious contender for best thriller of the year
Hellbent is Gregg Hurwitz firing on all cylinders
Praise for Orphan X
Orphan X blows the doors off most thrillers I've read and catapults the readers on a cat-and-mouse that feels like a missile launch. Read this book. You will thank me later (David Baldacci)
Orphan X is his best yet - a real celebration of all the strengths Gregg Hurwitz brings to a thriller (Lee Child)
Orphan X is the most gripping, high-octane thriller I've read in a long, long time! (Tess Gerritsen)

I listened to this series years ago and became addicted. Looking forward to my long drive to work and home so I could get my fill. When finished I listened again because I knew I would enjoy it. Prodigal Son was just released. I finished it in no time with an OMG you can’t finish it there with out the next book waiting! So to satisfy my yearning I’m going through the series again. This time really absorbing the details. Thank you Mr Hurwitz for your awesome imagination, knowledge and storytelling ability.
