Welcome to Litsy!

Forced into retirement, Evan Smoak gets an urgent request for help from someone he didn't even suspect existed�in Prodigal Son, the next New York Times bestselling Orphan X book from Gregg Hurwitz. 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.
