America’s best hitman was hired to kill–but when a D.C. authorities operation goes horribly incorrect, he must save a teenage runaway and investigate her parents’ murders within this #1 New York Situations bestselling thriller.

It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is normally dispatched to remove a focus on unusually near house in Washington, D.C. But something about this objective doesn’t seem to Robie, and he does the unthinkable. He refuses to pull the result in. Now, Robie turns into a target himself and about The Innocent can be on the run.

Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a wayward teenage girl, a fourteen-year-old runaway from a foster house. But she isn’t a typical runaway–her parents had been murdered, and her own life is in peril. Against all of his professional behaviors, Robie rescues her and finds he can’t leave. He must help her. Even worse, the greater Robie learns about the girl, the more he’s convinced she is at the guts of a vast cover-up, one which may describe her parents’ deaths and extend to unimaginable degrees of power.

Now, Robie may need to step out of the shadows to conserve this girl’s existence…and perhaps his own.
