"The Innocent" is the story of Will Robie, a deep-cover
assassin for the United States government. If they had no legal
means to eliminate an enemy, they called in an assassin. Will Robie
was the best they had. He made his kill every time. He got in and
out without incident. That is he did until his last assignment.
He'd been assigned to kill a woman in Washington, D. C. But when
he arrives at the woman's apartment, he finds something he wasn't
told about. The woman has a child! She was sleeping peacefully in
her bed, just as she was supposed to be. Lying in the bed beside
her was a small child! He hadn't been told anything about a child!
Robie froze. What was he going to do? He couldn't kill her, not
with the kid there! While he stood there, the child, a boy, woke
up. He saw Robie standing there with a gun pointing at his mother
and woke her up. His handler told him to kill both of them. Should
he?
It was a decision he was spared from making. The failsafe assassin
outside fired one shot killing the woman and her child at the same
time. And this is just the beginning of Robie's troubles.
"The Innocent" takes you from one crisis to the next
with little time in between. It is fast-paced and the tension continues
to mount until the exciting end. The characters are human beings
in extraordinary circumstances, and act accordingly. Listen to "The
Innocent" and raise your heart rate without the pain of exercise.
