About this ebook
The Innocent is another action-packed thriller from David Baldacci, one of the world's most popular writers.
He could no longer remember the names of all the people whose lives he had ended . . .
Master assassin Will Robie is the man the US government call to eliminate their most ruthless enemies at home or abroad. He never questions his orders, and he never misses his mark.
He’s just returned from a covert assignment in Edinburgh to neutralize a growing threat, having drawn upon all his expertise to complete his mission and disappear without a trace. The odds were stacked against him, but that’s never made a difference before.
But now he’s facing the most difficult operation of his career. Dispatched to kill a US government employee, he does the unthinkable when things don’t add up – he refuses to pull the trigger. In doing so, Robie finds himself becoming the target. On the run from his own government and with everything on the line, does he need to change sides to save lives – including his own?
The Innocent is the first novel in David Baldacci's blockbuster Will Robie series. Continue the series with The Hit.

Far-fetched in the extreme. Too many tenuous links. And the protagonist missed obvious connections he wouldn't in reality. Plus there was too much exposition at the end to explain the poorly written story.

My first book by Baldacci, and I was glad I read it. At first I thought it would be a based on/copy of Leon - it turned out not to be. The book kept me engaged, and I enjoyed reading it.

Easy to read novel, you can identify yourself with characters and keeps you interested. However it was predictable who were the good and the bad ones. It didn't surprise me one bit but if you want a light reading for a weekend I recommend you to read it.
