The Nowhere Man by Gregg HurwitzMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Let me say Wow! Gregg Hurwitz just may have written the Thriller of the Year for 2017 with The Nowhere Man. This is the 2nd book in the Evan Smoak series which began with last year's Orphan X. I received an advance readers copy of this book and started it right away.
This was a joy to read. It is so hard to see a sequel that is better than the original but Hurwitz succeeds. In The Nowhere Man, Evan Smoak is once again helping those who cannot help themselves. But in the process of an operation is captured himself and soon realizes that there is no one to help him. He can only rely on himself. Throw into the mix a giant mute, a fastidious psychopath and Sinaloa Cartel guns for hire in the midst of a harsh winter landscape and you have the makings of a book that you cannot put down.
This book is notable in the growth of Evan Smoak as a character. His humanity is on full display as is his ingenuity. There is also the reappearance of old friends as well as enemies that comlicate matters and make an already good thriller richer.
If you haven't read Orphan X, do so! Right now! You will not be dissapointed.
