About this ebook

They needed the perfect assassin.

Boy Nobody is the perennial new kid in school, the one few notice and nobody thinks much about. He shows up in a new high school in a new town under a new name, makes a few friends, and doesn't stay long. Just long enough for someone in his new friend's family to die-of "natural causes." Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, moving on to the next target.

But when he's assigned to the mayor of New York City, things change. The daughter is unlike anyone he has encountered before; the mayor reminds him of his father. And when memories and questions surface, his handlers at The Program are watching. Because somewhere deep inside, Boy Nobody is somebody: the kid he once was; the teen who wants normal things, like a real home and parents; a young man who wants out. And who just might want those things badly enough to sabotage The Program's mission.

In this action-packed series debut, author Allen Zadoff pens a page-turning thriller that is as thought-provoking as it is gripping, introducing an utterly original and unforgettable antihero.

Just a flat-out sad novel. Poorly written, the author constantly failed to stick to what was written in the book description, some parts are very unclear (poorly written). Just a flat out sad attempt at a novel.

This book was quick and entertaining but very far fetched. At the start of the story I figured I would end up loving this book but it just fell down a notch and stayed in the okay area for the rest of the story.

Surprising ending. But overall writing style needs a lot of work. Difficult to suspend belief with such 2 dimensional characters
