Publisher's Summary
The Nowhere Man is a figure shrouded in secrecy - a near legendary figure who helps those lucky few who are given the means to reach out to him. Before he was the Nowhere Man, Evan Smoak was a highly trained government operative known to a few as Orphan X. This is the story of Smoak's first outing as the Nowhere Man, where after completing a mission in Northern California, he happens to spot a young woman at a coffee shop. Brutalized and under the control of a very powerful, unscrupulous man, her life is in danger if she doesn't escape. And the only person that can help her do that is a man with the background and skills of the Nowhere Man.

How short it was!
How can this be one credit?? It wasn’t even an hour long?? I didn’t realize that when I purchased it or I wouldn’t have! Great story but it’s a SHORT story, literally 4 chapters. I was extremely disappointed when I figured that out.
