In its latest installment, former-assassin Evan Smoak is urged out of retirement after receiving an urgent request from the most unexpected caller.

PRODIGAL SON

“The Nowhere Man, the former government assassin otherwise known as Orphan X, is now Mr. Ordinary…From the first Smoak novel, 2016’s ORPHAN X, this has been one hell of a series, each volume (this is number six) revealing more about Evan’s deeply troubled past. The writing is pitch-perfect, too, which should come as no surprise to followers of Hurwitz’s career.”–Booklist, starred review

THE NOWHERE MAN

2 starred reviews!

“As good as ORPHAN X was, this is an even better novel, mostly because of its more claustrophobic setting (the bulk of the story is set in and around the place where Evan is being held), its captivating villain, and the way the author keeps ratcheting up the danger to Evan.”–Booklist, starred review

“Evan’s efforts to elude Van Sciver and company will keep readers on the edge of their seats, but it’s Hurwitz’s engaging, sympathetic characters who place this thriller above the pack.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

ORPHAN X
