In Greaney’s fast-paced, fun debut thriller, Court “The Gray Man” Gentry, a former CIA operative now renowned as the ultimate killer for hire, is on the job in Syria and Iraq. To his shock, he learns that a team sent in to rescue him now has him targeted for elimination. On the run, Gentry slowly realizes that huge forces are marshaling against him, from his former government to the one man in England he always trusted. With unbelievable powers of survival, the Gray Man eludes teams of killers and deadly traps, while the reader begins to cheer for this unlikely hero. Cinematic battles and escapes fill out the simplistic but satisfying plot, and Greaney deftly provides small details to show Gentry’s human side, offset by the petty rivalries and greed of his enemies.

Mark, I have a new hero right up there with Rapp, Harvath and Swagger and his name is Gentry! Loved the book and can not wait for your next one. Very impressed. Geff
“The Gray Man” reminds me of Ludlum’s classic “The Bourne Identity” . . . but without any slow spots! A magnificent thriller debut, the best I’ve read since Lee Child’s “Killing Floor.” I can’t wait for the next of Court Gentry’s adventures.
I have read extensively Ludlum, Ian Flemming, Lee Child and other authors. Mark Greaney does a superior job of keeping pace with a rythum to his writing that does not allow you to put it down until exhaustion sets in. I have never recommended a book before but I am highly recommending Mark Greaney’s first novel – “The Gray Man”
I loved your book!! I reminds me of Lee Child’s books in the fact you can’t put “em down. My husband raved over “Gray Man” and your style of writing. I agree… Keep them coming!
