Forced into retirement, Evan Smoak gets an urgent request for help from someone he didn't even suspect existed...
As a boy, Evan Smoak was pulled out of a foster home and trained in an off-the-books operation known as the Orphan Program. He was a government assassin, perhaps the best, known to a few insiders as Orphan X. He eventually broke with the Program and adopted a new name - The Nowhere Man - and a new mission, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble. But the highest power in the country has made him a tempting offer - in exchange for an unofficial pardon, he must stop his clandestine activities as The Nowhere Man. Now Evan has to do the one thing he's least equipped to do - live a normal life. But then he gets a call for help from the one person he never expected. A woman claiming to have given him up for adoption, a woman he never knew - his mother.
Her unlikely request: help Andrew Duran - a man whose life has gone off the rails, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, bringing him to the deadly attention of very powerful figures. Now a brutal brother & sister assassination team are after him and with no one to turn to, and no safe place to hide, Evan is Duran's only option. But when the hidden cabal catches on to what Evan is doing, everything he's fought for is on
the line - including his own life.
The world needs a new hero, and Evan Smoak - aka Orphan X - is here to help in his electrifying 8th adventure perfect for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher.
When Evan Smoak broke with the Orphan program, he carried secrets that the government would do anything to hide. Dedicating his skills to helping the desperate, Evan slowly found himself back on the government's radar. Having eliminated most Orphans, the government will stop at nothing to do likewise to Evan. But Orphan X has always stayed ahead of his pursuers.
Until he makes one little mistake...
Now the President is in control, offering a final deal: eliminate a rich, powerful man, and she'll let Evan survive. Now Evan has to decide what's more important- his principles or his life.

The Sunday Times bestselling series returns - and Orphan X faces his most challenging mission ever...
Evan Smoak is a man with many identities and a challenging past. As Orphan X, he was a government assassin for the off-the-books Orphan Program. After he broke with the Program, he adopted a new name and a new mission - The Nowhere Man, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble.
Having just survived an attack on his life, and the complete devastation of his base of operations, as well as his complicated (and deepening) relationship with his neighbour Mia Hall, Evan isn't interested in taking on a new mission. But one finds him anyway. Aragon Urrea is a kingpin of a major drug-dealing operation in South Texas. He's also the patron of the local area - suppling employment in legitimate operations, providing help to the helpless, a rough justice to the downtrodden, and a future to a people normally with little hope. He's complicated - a not completely good man, who does bad things for often good reasons. However, for all his money and power, he is helpless when one of the most vicious cartels kidnaps his innocent eighteen-year-old daughter, spiriting her away into the armoured complex that is their headquarters in Mexico. With no other way to rescue his daughter, he turns to The Nowhere Man.
Now not only must Evan figure out how to get into the impregnable fortress of a heavily armed, deeply paranoid cartel leader, but he must decide if he should help a very bad man - no matter how just the cause.

The #1 New York Times and Amazon Charts bestselling author Gregg
Olsen solves a murder among the Amish and reveals the conspiracy to
keep it a secret in a heartbreaking and horrifying true-crime
story. In 1977, in an Ohio Amish community, pregnant wife and
mother Ida Stutzman perished during a barn fire. The coroner’s
report: natural causes. Ida’s husband, Eli, was never considered
a suspect. But when he eventually rejected the faith and took his
son, Danny, with him, murder followed. What really happened to Ida?
The dubious circumstances of the tragic blaze were willfully
ignored and Eli’s shifting narratives disregarded. Could Eli’s
subsequent cross-country journey of death—including that of his
own son—have been prevented if just one person came forward with
what they knew about the real Eli Stutzman? The questions haunted
Gregg Olsen and Ida’s brother Daniel Gingerich for decades. At
Daniel’s urging, Olsen now returns to Amish Country and to
Eli’s crimes first exposed in Olsen’s Abandoned Prayers, one of
which has remained a mystery until now. With the help of aging
witnesses and shocking long-buried letters, Olsen finally uncovers
the disturbing truth—about Ida’s murder and the conspiracy of
silence and secrets that kept it hidden for forty-five years.
