The Innocent

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, America' s best hitman must rescue a teenage runaway and investigate her parents' murder.

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 pull the trigger. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and is on the run.

Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a fourteen-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 his professional training, Robie rescues her and finds he can' t walk away. He needs to help her.

The more Robie learns about the girl, the more he' s convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that involves 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.
