With his lover imprisoned in a Russian gulag, the Gray Man will stop at nothing to free her in this latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
A winter sunrise over the great plains of Russia is no cause for celebration. The temperature barely rises above zero, and the guards at Penal Colony IK22 are determined to take their misery out on the prisoners—chief among them, one Zoya Zakharova. Once a master spy for Russian foreign intelligence, then the partner and lover of the Gray Man, she has information the Kremlin wants, and they don't care what they have to do to get it.
But if they think a thousand miles of frozen wasteland and the combined power of the Russian police state is enough to protect them, they don't know the Gray Man. He's coming, and no one's safe.

      The word is out. There's an American in the Balkans "creating a lot of noise and mayhem." You bet he is. He's Court Gentry, a freelance assassin known as the Gray Man and given the lead again in the fourteenth novel in Greaney's popular series, following Chaos Agent (2024). Someone has captured and imprisoned his lover, Zoya, the sassy, vodka-swilling Russian spy who defected to the West and got imprisoned for it. The core of the novel details Gentry's efforts to find and free her. We rejoin Gentry in a scene that reads like a parody of an old western movie moment: five gunslingers take him on in quick-draw, and he mows 'em all down. Things come alive when Zoya is introduced. Her jousting with the power-mad twerp who controls her life in the Russian hellhole prison is on a different level. Does the journey end in the lovers' reunion? That's for Greaney to tell in the last chapter, where he reveals the true reason for Zoya's arrest and gives action fans what they want.

      The brisk latest entry in Greaney’s Courtland Gentry series (after Sentinel) finds the ex-CIA operative bereft and unmoored. Though Court has been told that his lover, former Russian intelligence agent Zoya Zakharova, has been executed in a Moscow prison, he refuses to believe she’s dead. Desperate to sneak into Russia and rescue her, he carries out contract assassinations for the Romanian mob in exchange for safe passage. When the mobsters betray him, Court knocks some heads, leaving him in need of a new strategy. Then Matthew Hanley, his former CIA handler, learns that Zoya is indeed alive, and is being held in the same prison as the wife of Natan Yarovoy, a jailed dissident. Hanley comes to Court with an audacious plan: a joint mission between Ukrainian military forces and Russian insurgents to rescue Yarovoy and his wife, which would allow Court to swoop in and save Zoya. Soon, however, Zoya learns that her imprisonment was little more than a trap for Court. Greaney’s action scenes are as kinetic and chaotic as ever—especially an exhilarating chase through the Moscow subway—but it’s Court’s tender humanity when it comes to protecting his allies that shines brightest. This is one of Greaney’s best yet. Agent: Scott Miller, Trident Media Group.
