About this listen
From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, America's best hitman must rescue a teenage runaway and investigate her parents' murder.
It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. But something about this mission doesn't seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable—he refuses to pull the trigger. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and is on the run.
Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with 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 his professional training, Robie rescues her and finds he can't walk away. He needs to help her.
The more Robie learns about the girl, the more he's convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that involves unimaginable levels of power.
Now, Robie may have to step out of the shadows in order to save this girl's life...and perhaps his own.
What the critics say
"[A] spectacular entry into the hardcore action-adventure world...a tour de force of storytelling power and grace. Baldacci at his best, which is as good as it gets."—Providence Sunday Journal
"This is another great novel by a brilliant writer. Baldacci catches you from the very first page and grabs your attention until the last word. Read it."—Lincoln Journal Star (NE)
"Another action tale of espionage and betrayal from a master storyteller. Baldacci brings his unusual, distinctive skill in character development to portray people who seem very real, with a degree of unpredictability that advances this very clever plot."—The Free-Lance Star

All round good fun
I thought this was an overall good read. The storyline was a bit convoluted at times, but enjoyable nonetheless. I will definitely try another book by this author. I liked the two voice narration as well. Sound effects caught me off guard.

Awesome Read!
The story is awesome. The theatrics from the performers and the sound effects bring the story more alive then if I just read the book.

Kept me guessing!
Good story with twists and turns. Only negative for me was the that the female narrator never sounded like a 14 year old character. Her voice was just too mature.

Excellent!
David Baldacci is able to combine an exciting sometime violent story with kind, likeable and believable characters. The narrators are excellent and really add to the enjoyment of the story. I found this audiobook better than an action movie.
