Description
The stunning third Orphan X thriller from the No. 1 bestselling author.
To some, he was Orphan X. Others knew him as the Nowhere Man. But to Jack Johns, he was a boy named Evan Smoak. Taken from an orphanage, Evan was raised inside a top-secret government programme and trained to become a lethal weapon. By Jack. And yet, for all the dangerous skills he instilled in his young charge, Jack Johns cared for Evan like a son.
But Jack knew too much about a programme that had gone rotten—he was a loose end that needed to be dealt with. If you go after the only person who ever treated him like a human being, you can guarantee that the Nowhere Man will be coming for you, hellbent on making things right...
With Hellbent, Gregg Hurwitz raises the bar again with a masterclass in high-octane thriller writing.
