America has enemies—ruthless people that the police, the
FBI, even the military can't stop. That's when the U.S.
government calls on Will Robie, a stone cold hitman who
never questions orders and always nails his target.
But Will Robie may have just made the first—and last—mistake
of his career . . .
THE INNOCENT 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 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 is 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 this girl's life . . . and perhaps his own.
