Will Robie is a forty year-old hitman for the US government. He never questions orders and always hits his target. He is very good. Very good at staying alive. But then one day the unthinkable happens. He is given an assignment, but the target is unexpected and for the first time, he did not kill. He did not complete his mission. And it looks like a set-up to him. Now he himself is the target running for his life.
Soon, another complication. While on a bus trying to flee the men now assigned to find him, Robie witnesses another hitman making an attempt to kill a fourteen year old girl. This he could stop, but now he is on the run with baggage, a girl named Julie from the DC foster care system, who is in as much danger as he is and he can't seem to leave her. They are on the run together. But Robie has to find out what is going on and who is behind the attempts on his life. And now he also must find out why Julie is a target while keeping her alive. Will FBI Special Agent Nicole Vance be a hindrance or a help?
But neither Agent Vance or Julie or certain they can trust Robie.
This was a really good read that I enjoyed very much. Robie was believable, as was Julie and I became fond of both of them as I read. The plot moved quickly as if I were watching a Bruce Willis movie or an installment of Mission Impossible.
Oh! It was David Baldacci! Of course!
