Finished: The Innocent (Baldacci) I've enjoyed a few Baldacci books now, and they're always suspenseful page-turners and great for airplane reading! This one introduces Will Robie, an assassin for a secret department of the United States government who kills extremely bad people who are planning harm to our country. He always follows orders, no questions asked.....until one night he is ordered to assassinate an American mother of two who also works for the government. When he hesitates and decides not to kill her, especially since her two year old son is in her arms, the "back up team" shoots straight through the little boy's head and into the mother's and kills them both. Will Robie goes immediately on the run, knowing that he will now be marked for elimination. He implements his self-survival escape plan and hops on a bus under an assumed name just in time to see what appears to be another assassin sit down behind a fourteen year old girl and move to murder her! Of course, Will intervenes and saves the girl, taking her with him off the bus just seconds before it explodes! The girl, Julie, has just witnessed the murder of her parents and gone on the run herself. A very unlikely friendship evolves between Julie and the forty year old Will as they work frantically together to figure out how their situations, and the victims of their situations, are not coincidental at all, but very intertwined. With the help of FBI agent, Nicole Vance, Will and Julie get to the bottom of who is killing the people around them and why. I may just read the other Will Robie books from Baldacci! We'll see. :-)
