Gregg Hurwitz

As Orphan-X, Evan Smoak was trained to be a secret government assassin - until he quit. 
 
As the Nowhere Man he's the guy to call if no one else can help. He'll save you. 
 
But when a woman gets in touch claiming to be his mother, he can't know if his true family needs help or this is a trap. 
 
Has Evan's past reached out to claim him? 
 
Or is someone out to ensure he has no future?

Prodigal Son

The explosive and thrilling Sunday Times bestseller

THE HERO 
Evan Smoak: former off-the-books assassin - code name Orphan X. His world is divided into those who deserve his help and those who've brought his singular brand of justice upon themselves. 
 
THE VICTIM 
A desperate father reaches out. His teenage daughter Anjelina has been kidnapped by a brutal criminal cartel and spirited over the border into Mexico. And while money is no object, Evan soon realises that his prospective client's past is as clouded and compromised as his own. 
 
THE MISSION 
If Evan is going to put his life on the line to rescue Anjelina, he must first decide whether he can act on behalf of a bad man. And even then, up against the men who are holding his daughter, there will be no guarantee of success...

Dark Horse

Evan Smoak - former government assassin, 'Orphan X', turned white knight of last resort - is planning on hanging up his gun. 
 
Then he gets one last call. 
 
Max Merriweather has lost his wife, home and career. Now it looks like he's going to lose his life. A murdered cousin has left him a package and a team of assassins on his trail . . . 
 
Nothing Evan can't handle. 
 
If it weren't for the fact he's carrying a brutal concussion that's made him vulnerable. Or that the simple job of keeping Max safe quickly escalated into a mission unlike anything he's ever encountered. 
 
But as Evan's problems mount just one thing is clear: he is now in the most dangerous position of his life . . .

Into the Fire

'Do you need my help?' 
 
It was always the first question he asked. They called him when they had nowhere else to turn. 
 
As a boy he was taken from an orphanage, then raised and trained. As part of a top-secret programme, he was sent out to do the things his government denied any knowledge of. 
 
Then he broke with the programme, using everything he'd learned to disappear. He wanted to help the desperate and deserving. 
 
But now someone's on his tail. Someone who has issues with his past. Someone who knows he was once known simply as Orphan X.
