Last Man Standing

When a young woman named Brooke calls for help, she pulls Evan Smoak, the Nowhere Man, into his most dangerous mission yet. She’s one of several people trapped under the control of Boz, who’s as ruthless as he is untouchable. Boz never loses. Evan’s trying to build something like a normal life, carving out time with the people he loves even when it puts them in the crosshairs. When he decides to rescue Brooke, he brings his loved ones along for the ride, and at first, it works. The extraction goes smoothly. Too smoothly. Because Evan has no idea what Boz, or the team of hardened professionals backing him, is really involved in,.Once Boz learns that he’s up against the Nowhere Man, he plans a way to get Brooke back and destroy Evan forever. The tension between family man and lethal operative is where the book hits hardest. Evan’s usual playbook isn’t enough this time, and watching him dig for something beyond tactics, something more human, makes this one of the most emotionally charged entries in the series. Hurwitz keeps delivering riveting, suspenseful, and surprising stories that just keep getting better with each entry.—Jeff Ayers
