THE PRESIDENT

Leader of the free world, the most powerful man on earth, and the greatest threat to his country.
He's hiding something dark and sinister, and if the truth got out it would bury him.

He will not let that happen.

THE ASSASSIN

Codename: Orphan X. Evan Smoak was taken from his foster home and inducted into a top-secret Cold War programme. Trained to become a lethal weapon, he was forced to do whatever it takes to keep his country safe.

But then he discovered the mission was corrupt, and escaped. Now he helps those who can't help themselves.

THE RECKONING

Evan knows the President's secret. And that's very dangerous knowledge indeed.
To save himself and his country, he must ask himself one simple question . . .

How do you kill the most well-protected man on earth?

Breathtakingly bold, brilliantly accomplished and blisteringly fast-paced, Out of the Dark is the stunning new thriller from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Orphan X.

About this title

Review:

Even more compelling than its predecessors. Hurwitz uses every ounce of his exceptional skill to describe the elaborate plans that exist to protect the most powerful man in the world and how they might be circumvented. Gripping, powerful and only too believable. Don't miss it. (Daily Mail)

Out of the Dark takes the reader on a journey that covers a wide range of emotions from potential love to outright terror. The relentless action and detailed mission planning make the tale both clever and smart. It's only the end of January, but this novel will be remembered as one of the best thrillers of the year (Associated Press)

Out of the Dark is the best thing Gregg Hurwitz has ever written and the kind of game-changing thriller that'll have people talking about it long after turning the final page. (The Real Book Spy)

The perfect thriller (Robert Crais, bestselling author of Cole & Pike series)

A superbly created page-turning action blast (Peterborough Evening Telegraph)

The fourth in a series that has put Hurwitz firmly on the thriller writers' map (Mail on Sunday)

Exceptional. Gripping, powerful and only too believable. Don't miss it. (Daily Mail)

The Perfect Thriller (Robert Crais)

Praise for Orphan X series: (-)

Orphan X blows the doors off most thrillers I've read and catapults the readers on a cat-and-mouse that feels like a missile launch. Read this book. You will thank me later (David Baldacci)
