***NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
**
Gregg Hurwitz's New York Times bestselling series returns when
Orphan X faces his most challenging mission ever in Dark Horse.
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 neighbor 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--supplying employment in
legitimate operations, providing help to the helpless, 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 18-year-old
daughter, spiriting her away into the armored 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.
