Part of Gray Man
First published 2027
Court Gentry stands at his father's graveside, the last member of his family still breathing. His brother Chance died years earlier, cut down by gunfire while serving as a police officer. Court carries that loss with him, another weight in a life already heavy with violence and solitude. Then he sees the impossible. A figure in the crowd bears Chance's face, Chance's walk, Chance's presence. The sighting lasts only seconds before the man vanishes, but it shatters everything Court thought he knew about his brother's death. The Gray Man begins hunting for answers, following a trail that leads into the shadowed corners of government operations. Someone faked his brother's death. Someone has been hiding Chance for years. But powerful forces move to protect their secrets, and they will kill to keep Court from learning the truth about his family.
