* First in a series *
The Gray Man is a legend, a whisper in the wind. But in reality, his last assassination made an enemy of the wrong man. Now that enemy is employing people who will do anything to capture him - dead or alive.
He escapes one rescue attempt, which turns out to be an assignation attempt. Then he goes dark. He only contacts the one person he trusts.
Unfortunately for him, that one person has been compromised by Fitzroy's family being held captive. The Gray man was once on security detail for the family and made close connections to Fitzroy's twin granddaughters. Even though he knows it's a trap, there's no way he's not going to try his hardest to save them.
But to get to them, he's going to have to get through teams of trained men.
Fun Fact: I admit, I didn't know about these books until I heard about them in an email. Apparently this book will be made into a series or movie. There are so far 10 books in this series.
My Thoughts: I really liked this book - lots of action and danger. It does read like a movie, so I'm very interested in seeing the adaptation. He's the underdog, but not the underdog. You can't help but root for him. He's an assassin with morals.
Cover Thoughts: Fine, but not that exciting
