Prodigal Son

Mother. With each installment of Gregg Hurwitz’ series of novels featuring Orphan X, Evan Smoak, we learn more about this character and his depth and complexity evolves. In the sixth novel titled, Prodigal Son, Evan meets the woman who gave birth to him and gave him up for adoption. All of a sudden, Evan’s orderly world has turned upside down. The action and technology in this novel make for exciting reading, and a reader’s tension remains taut after the last page is read.
