Genre: Thriller

Easter holiday Jack sends 17 year old Evan Smoak (long before he was Orphan X and The Nowhere Man) on a cross-country trek….speaking only Portuguese.

At his destination Evan is subjected to a “boot camp” that would bring back memories for any Navy SEAL.

Unfortunately, those memories are probably nightmares!

But young Evan endures…..maybe???

To see what happens you can read “The Code” by Gregg Hurwitz. 🙂
