The Innocent (Will Robie) by Baldacci David

America has enemies ruthless people that the police, the FBI, and even the military can t stop. That s when the US government calls on Will Robie, a stone-cold hit man who never questions orders and always nails his target.

But Will Robie may have just made the first and last mistake of his career

It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, DC. But something about this mission doesn t seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable: he refuses to kill. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and must escape from his own people.

Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a wayward teenage girl, a fourteen-year-old runaway from a foster home. But she isn t an ordinary runaway her parents were murdered, and her own life is in danger. Against all of his professional habits, Robie rescues her and finds he can t walk away. He needs to help her.

Even worse, the more Robie learns about the girl, the more he s convinced she s at the center of a vast cover-up, one that may explain her parents deaths and stretch to unimaginable levels of power. Now, Robie may have to step out of the shadows in order to save the girl s life and perhaps his own.
