Buy a Bullet (by Gregg Hurwitz)
I read the first book in the Orphan X series by Gregg Hurwitz and I was immediately hooked — ready to consume the entire series. I devoured book 1.5, Buy a Bullet, which I borrowed an an ebook from my local library with the Hoopla app.
Evan Smoak, aka the Nowhere Man, was a government operative known as Orphan X. Buy a Bullet tells the story of how Evan began his transformation and his first job as the Nowhere Man. While minding his own business in a coffee shop, Evan notices a woman who is clearly under the control of the man she is with. He senses the danger this woman is in and decides to put his skills to work to save her.
I rarely enjoy short stories, but this one was perfect! At only 16 pages on my iPad, Hurwitz tells a suspenseful story succinctly and completely. I was not left wanting more of the story as there didn’t need to be more. I enjoyed learning how the Nowhere Man started his work. I’m ready for book two!
