Gregg Hurwitz, “Hellbent”

Evan Smoak—government assassin gone rogue—returns in the latest in Hurwitz’s #1 bestselling Orphan X series. Taken from a group home at age 12, Evan Smoak was raised and trained as an assassin: Orphan X. After he broke with the Orphan Program, Evan reinvented himself as the Nowhere Man, a man dedicated to helping the truly desperate. But this time, the person in need is Jack Johns, the man who raised and trained him. Secret forces are trying to scrub the remaining traces of the Orphan Program. With little time remaining, Jack gives Evan his last assignment: find and protect his last protégé and recruit for the program.
