The Gray Man Novel
The Gray Man is the debut novel by Mark Greaney, first published in 2009 by Jove Books.
The novel follows Gentry on a mission across Europe to rescue his handler, Sir Donald Fitzroy, and his family in Normandy, France from Lloyd, a member of a massive English corporation who wants Gentry terminated in order to shepherd a billion-dollar deal for oil interests in Nigeria, where its president, in turn, wants Gentry dead for the assassination of his brother.
“These are ace professional killers and Gosling’s characters get singed by the CIA and Evans’ character needs to chase him down,” Joe Russo said.
