Publisher Description
'I love the Gray Man' -- LEE CHILD
TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THE CITY OF ANGELS
While on a mission to Croatia, Court Gentry uncovers a human trafficking operation. The trail leads from the Balkans all the way back to Hollywood.
Court is determined to shut it down, but his CIA handlers have other plans. The criminal ringleader has actionable intelligence about a potentially devastating terrorist attack on the US. The CIA won't move until they have that intel. It's a moral balancing act with Court at the pivot point.
From Mark Greaney, the New York Times bestselling author of Mission Critical and a co-author of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, comes another high-stakes thriller featuring the world's most dangerous assassin: the Gray Man.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Greaney's remarkable ninth Gray Man novel (after 2019's Mission Critical), Courtland Gentry (aka The Gray Man) takes on the Consortium, an international sex slave cartel, the existence of which he stumbles on while committing a hit on a Serbian strongman. A former CIA employee, Gentry fell out of favor to the point that the agency was trying to kill him, and after getting that misunderstanding straightened out, the agency is still kind of trying to kill him, though he works as an off-the-books assassin in a secret CIA program called Poison Apple. Never mind his official status. What's important is that he's probably the greatest assassin in the world, and those who oppose him usually end up dead. In this case, he decides to defy his bosses and hunt down the men who are part of the Consortium, running his own op with no help other than that from Talyssa Corbu, a junior analyst for Europol, whose sister the sex traffickers have captured. As always, Gentry is up to the task. Spy thriller fans will be enthralled. Author tour.
Customer Reviews
Loved it
A lot of people have complained about the change in writing to first person. At first it was a bit disconcerting but once you’re into the story I found it quite good to give more depth to Court’s character- seeing things from his point of view and hearing his thoughts.
New reading
Cool perspective
Written in first person!
Not sure why the format changed to be written in the first person, but it’s wrong for this book and character. Please go back to the original format.
