Part of Gray Man, book 3
First published 2019
Court Gentry arrives in Mexico to pay his final respects to Eddie, a man who once saved his life. Eddie is dead, murdered by the notorious drug cartel he was supposed to destroy. The former CIA operative known as the Gray Man barely sets foot in the country before he finds himself pulled into the savage drug war that claimed his friend's life. This conflict has no clear battle lines or opposing armies. Every participant fights their own desperate battle to stay alive. Gentry must navigate a landscape where survival depends on quick thinking and quicker reflexes. The violence is personal, the stakes are life and death, and trust is a luxury no one can afford. In this lawless territory, Gentry discovers that honoring the dead might cost him everything.
