Who is the Unknown Assassin?The perennial new kid in school, the one few notice and nobody thinks much about, Boy Nobody shows up in a new high school, in a new town, under a new name, makes few friends and doesn't stay long. Just long enough for someone in his new friend's family to die -- of "natural causes." Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, and moves on to the next target.
The Unknown Assassin series has been sold in more than a dozen countries, has received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and VOYA, and was a 2014 TOP TEN Pick for Reluctant Readers from YALSA. The first book, I AM THE WEAPON, is being developed as a major motion picture by Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment. Find out what all the excitement is about now! |
"When Batman was a little kid, he wanted to grow up to be half as badass as The Unknown Assassin."
