Disgraced former CIA agent Court "The Gray Man" Gentry (introduced in 2009's The Gray Man) makes ends meet as an

assassin working for clients he cannot trust. Russian arms merchant Sidorenko wants Court to kill Sudan's President

Abboud, arguably the man responsible for the genocide in Darfur. The CIA makes a counteroffer: kidnap Abboud and give

him to American officials in exchange for amnesty. Court cannot refuse and treks through Sudan in pursuit of nebulous,

ever-changing goals. Every element in this book is familiar, but Court is endearing in his perseverance even as his

schemes are undermined by sympathetic victims, misleading information, outright lies, poor planning, betrayal,

conflicting agendas, and simple bad luck. What could have been a storm of clichés becomes an action-filled yet touching

story of a man whose reason has long ago been subsumed by his work ethic
