Orphan X by Gregg Hurwitz

 


I needed a title containing the letter X for my alphabet challenge in my book journal, so I picked up Orphan X. 

Orphan X is what you’d get if The Equalizer and Jason Bourne had a baby and then raised him in a top-secret government assassin program. Evan Smoak, aka the Nowhere Man, is lethal and completely off the grid, helping people who have nowhere else to turn. 

It wasn't an original idea, and I didn't have any surprises, but it was fast-moving and fun. If you like crime thrillers and don't mind a recycled theme, you'll enjoy this one.
