Out of the Dark by Gregg Hurwitz

First of all, thank you to Netgalley and Minotaur books for this advanced copy.  Having just finished Hellbent, I ran seamlessly right into this book.

Out of the Dark is a fantastic cat-and-mouse game.  It follows Evan Smoak (aka The Nowhere Man, aka Orphan X) where Hellbent left off.  The President has interest in Orphan X, specifically the entire Orphan program.  Without spoiling the book, Evan is in his usual scenarios.  Despite his running, shooting, plotting, and hiding, he still likes his chilled vodka.  He still is in a will they/won't they relationship with Mia and her son, Peter.

Familiar faces re-appear in this book.  Hurwitz does a great job of creating these characters, having them show up in each book, as though no time has passed since we saw them last.  He builds suspense in his writing, and has the reader trying to solve what's coming next.  I hope to come back to this review once the book has been published.  A must-read for any Hurwitz fans!
