At twelve years old, Evan Smoak was removed from his group home and put into an off-the-books government program to train orphans to become elite assassins. After years of following orders, Evan goes off the grid and leaves the program. Now Evan is the "Nowhere Man" who helps those to have nowhere to turn. He only takes one client at a time and doesn't stop until the job is done. His latest case goes awry when someone takes a shot at this client...or was the shot meant for him?

This is a fast-paced thriller that I thought got off to a slow start. Thankfully I hung in there and the story quickly ramped up with several twists and turns along with loads of action scenes. I'll definitely be reading the next book in the series soon. My rating: 4 Stars.
