The Innocent by David Baldacci

4.0

The Innocent is a story of an American assassin who is trying to solve a mystery before it kills him. The protagonist Will Robie is an assassin for a secret government organization who kills on orders without questioning. But he fails to act on one of such mission and he becomes a target.

Because of an accident he pairs up with a teenage girl whose parents were killed right before her eyes. Will Robie somehow feels responsible for the girl. He soon realizes that someone is playing a game with him, someone who doesn’t care about collateral damage, someone who doesn’t want him killed just yet.

He teams up with FBI agent Nicole Vance to catch whoever is playing the deadly game in which the causalities keep mounting.

The book is very fast paced and interesting and it keeps the mystery alive until the very end. I finished it in two days. The characters are nicely developed. The seemingly different mysteries never stray too far and in the end all loose ends are tied up. Definitely recommended.
