The Gray Man by Mark GreaneyRead about the other entries on the list.
We’re excitedly awaiting the screen adaptation of The Gray Man later this year. We spoke with author Mark Greaney earlier this year about the perfect spy thriller and one of things he told us was, “…more importantly than the stakes, the locations, the villains, or the tech, a good espionage story depends on the hero, and more precisely, on the gripping personal stakes the hero has in the outcome. More than simply the success or failure of his or her mission, the hero must battle something greater to make a spy novel transcendent.” Court Gentry, known as the Gray Man, is the agent who’s legendary among his comrades: never fails, never misses. But even a legend can be put out to pasture. The question is, will he go quietly?
