The bestselling series continues - the electrifying new adventure from Evan Smoak

Orphan X faces his most difficult mission yet...

Evan Smoak, the 'Nowhere Man' and former hitman - codenamed Orphan X - is a man of many identities and a troubled past. His world is divided between those who deserve his help and those who claim a special kind of justice. He's the one you definitely want to have next to you when things get serious. And that makes him just the right man for a desperate father whose teenage daughter Anjelina has been kidnapped by a brutal criminal cartel and taken across the border to Mexico.

Evan soon realises that his potential client Argaon Urrea's past is just as murky, dark and dangerous as his own. And Urrea, despite all his money and power, is completely helpless... When Evan now puts everything on the line to save Anjelina, he must decide whether he can act on behalf of this man: a not really good person who does bad things, often for good reasons.

And even if he could penetrate the impregnable fortress of a heavily armed, deeply paranoid cartel leader, there is no guarantee of success.

Relentless pacing and non-stop action with one of the most compelling actors a thriller could ever offer.

'Gregg Hurwitz has outdone himself with Dark Horse. Readers will get whiplash... The action strikes like lightning.' Luis Urrea, Pulitzer finalist for The Devil's Highway
