At CrimeReads the author tagged five thriller novels that grab you from page one. One title on the list:
The Gray Man by Mark GreaneyRead about another entry on the list.
Hook: Court Gentry, a CIA-trained assassin, is on the run from his own agency, dodging bullets and betrayal in a globe-trotting game of cat-and-mouse that starts with a bang—literally.
From the first page, Greaney’s The Gray Man is a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart. Court’s a lone wolf with a moral streak, and when his employers turn on him, you’re instantly rooting for this deadly underdog. It’s a lean, mean thriller machine that inspired a Netflix blockbuster, and it’s perfect for readers who love their heroes gritty and their action relentless. Speaking of Greaney, he’s already raving about my Blood and Treasure, calling it “The must-read debut thriller of 2025.” If the king of thrillers is hyped, you know it’s gonna be a wild ride!
The Gray Man is among Isabelle McConville's eight assassin stories you don’t want to miss.
