Innocent is a gripping thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci, published by Grand Central Publishing (Hachette Book Group) on June 10, 2025. This 432-page trade paperback is part of Baldacci's acclaimed Will Robie series.

Professional government hitman Will Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. — but something about the mission doesn't add up, and for the first time in his career, Robie refuses to pull the trigger. That decision instantly makes him a target himself. While fleeing, he encounters a fourteen-year-old runaway whose parents have been brutally murdered. Breaking every rule he lives by, Robie chooses to help the girl — and discovers she is entangled in a vast cover-up reaching the highest levels of power. Now Robie must emerge from the shadows to protect an innocent and expose a conspiracy that could shake the nation.

Fast-paced and relentlessly tense, Innocent showcases Baldacci's signature blend of action, intrigue, and moral complexity that has made him one of the world's best-loved thriller writers.
