Reviews"Brilliantly conceived and plotted, his character Evan, of Orphan X fame, deserves his own niche in the thriller hero hall of fame. Read this book. You will thank me later." -David Baldacci " Evan Smoak returns in an even more intense and harrowing thriller." -Associated Press on The Nowhere Man " Orphan X is the most exciting thriller I've read since The Bourne Identity . Fans of Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, and Jason Bourne will LOVE Evan Smoak!" -Robert Crais, "This is a great novel... do not miss this one." -- Booklist (starred review) "This one is personal... fans of the first two books will enjoy this nail-biting, twisty thriller." -- Library Journal, "This is a great novel... do not miss this one." -- Booklist (starred review) "As well-done as the rest of the series and bloody good fun." -- Kirkus Reviews "This one is personal... fans of the first two books will enjoy this nail-biting, twisty thriller." -- Library Journal, "This is a great novel... do not miss this one." -- Booklist (starred review) "[A] nail-biting, twisty thriller." -- Library Journal, " Hellbent is carved from the same cloth of not only Lee Child, but also David Baldacci, and it proves Hurwitz to be every bit the equal of both of them. This is raw, visceral action writing layered with rare depth and emotion, making Hellbent an early contender for one of the best thrillers of the year." -- Providence Journal "Must read!" -- New York Post "Where there's Smoak, there's firepower. The only thing better than a great book is a series in which each book is exponentially better than the last.
