by Gregg Hurwitz (Author)

Forced into retirement, Evan Smoak gets an urgent request for help from someone he didn't even suspect existed―in Prodigal Son, the next New York Times bestselling Orphan X book from Gregg Hurwitz.As a boy, Evan Smoak was pulled out of a foster home and trained in an off-the-books operation known as the Orphan Program. He was a government assassin, perhaps the best, known to a few insiders as Orphan X. He eventually broke with the Program and adopted a new nameThe Nowhere Man―and a new mission, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble. But the highest power in the country has made him a tempting offer―in exchange for an unofficial pardon, he must stop his clandestine activities as The Nowhere Man. Now Evan has to do the one thing he’s least equipped to do―live a normal life. But then he gets a call for help from the one person he never expected. A woman claiming to have given him up for adoption, a woman he never knew―his mother. Her unlikely request: help Andrew Duran―a man whose life has gone off the rails, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, bringing him to the deadly attention of very powerful figures. Now a brutal brother & sister assassination team are after him and with no one to turn to, and no safe place to hide, Evan is Duran’s only option. But when the hidden cabal catches on to what Evan is doing, everything he’s fought for is on the line―including his own life.

In the electrifying sixth installment of Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan X series, Evan Smoak, known as The Nowhere Man, must confront his past and face his deadliest enemy yet - his own brother.

Evan and Trey find themselves caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, hunted by a ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing to silence them. As they race against time to uncover the truth, Evan must confront his own demons and come to terms with the choices he's made. With his signature blend of heart-pounding action, twisty plotting, and emotional depth, Gregg Hurwitz delivers a novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.
