On to Mt TBR it goes.

#8 in the Orphan X series. This is a pacey, compelling thriller. Warning: one of the bad guys rapes women at every opportunity.
Except for that cringe-inducing character, this is great escapist fun.

Smoak is the result of a program that he started when he was taken out of an orphanage and put through a series of tests and training that created a flawless killer and then used by the government as a human weapon. Story is based around Johnny Seabrook, a happy-go-lucky young man living on his looks and always ready to party. He attends one of Luke Devine's parties and ends up dead alongside a young woman. Meanwhile, government agents are tracking down Smoak at the request of the president and her request will be that he is pardoned if he gets rid of Luke Devine. Smoak eventually finds a link between the two young people who were killed and Luke Devine and so takes the request to kill him. Devine is, however, a dark version of Smoak, although he operates in different ways and seems to be one step ahead of him. Although a lone wolf, Smoak needs the help of several friends for this task. Smoak needs to call on them much more and his techy, Joey a sixteen year old girl who has been through similar things to Smoak, needs him to help her emotionally.
