Dark Horse: The pulse-racing Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

The end of the book foreshadows more trouble for Orphan X, and it will be interesting to see what happens next. On the opposite side of the lobby, as far from Chucho as the room allowed, sat Silvia Vélez and her nineteen-year-old daughter, Celina. His novels have won numerous literary awards, graced top ten lists, and have been published in 33 languages. His mission to find the kidnapped daughter of an 'unconventional businessman' takes him to places in his own mind that he doesn't normally go, making him feel emotions he doesn't normally feel, leaving him struggling to stick to the ten commandments he has always lived by. Evan also picks up where he left off with love interest (and neighbour) Mia and her son Peter and with the very delightful teenage Orphan program (black ops) drop-out, teenage genius and hacker Joey.

He went by “Kiki,” which, on top of his partnership with Eduardo, had saddled him with the inevitable sobriquet “Special K. Personally, I switched back and forth between reading the book and listening to the audio, narrated by Scott Brick. The adorable Joey, also figures into the happenings with her computer, electronic wizardry in full sight.I admit that I had to skim a bit of these parts, but I'm always curious to see how Evan will pull off the final ambush.

Silvia looked as weary as Aragón had ever seen her, eyes sunken as if trying to retreat into her skull. And that even if he summoned the whole of the power and menace at his disposal to preserve her innocence, he would eventually fail, because innocence was destined for spoiling. Facing his daughter across the dance floor, Aragón held out a hand, and his body man, Eduardo Gómez, materialized out of thin air to place a flute of Cristal in his palm. A number of boys surrounded her and clapped, but none dared ask her to dance, not with Aragón under the same roof overseeing the festivities with stern paternalism and an aquiline profile worthy of a coin. She has accepted Evan for who he is, he doesn’t want to slip up and miss a chance with someone who has come to really mean something to him.Naturally things end with some uncertainty which sadly means another (entire) year’s wait to see what happens next.
