Evan Smoak, formerly known as Orphan X, is a former black book government assassin who has reinvented himself as a freelance operative who will go anywhere and risk everything to help the truly desperate. He has fought international crime syndicates and drug cartels, faced down the most powerful people in the world, and even brought down a President. However, he is struggling with an unexpected personal crisis and goes back to the basics of his mission, which is to find a missing dog for a little girl. This unlikely, tiny job quickly explodes into his biggest mission yet, as he is battered between twisted AI technocrat billionaires, a mysterious female assassin who seems a mirror of himself, and personal stakes so gut-wrenching he can scarcely make sense of them. Evan's mission pushes him to his limit, as he must find and take down the assassin known only as the Wolf before she succeeds in completing her mission and killing the people who can identify her, including a teenaged daughter of her last target and Evan himself. Matched skill for skill, instinct for instinct, Evan must outwit an opponent who will literally stop at nothing if he is to survive. Praise for the Orphan X series includes "feels like a missile launch" from David Baldacci, "outstanding in every way" from Lee Child, "weapons-grade thriller writing" from the Guardian, and "an immensely entertaining adventure" from the Times.
