"Someone Wants the Assassin Dead... No Matter the Cost"

Dead Eye

Posted: June 27, 2014

The CIA wants Court Gentry (aka "The Gray Man") dead, no matter what it takes. For the last five years, Court has worked as an expatriate assassin for hire. This time, however, Court finds himself on the wrong end of business as the CIA has sent a man just like himself after Court. Who will win when the Gray Man faces the assassin known as DEAD EYE?

DEAD EYE is the fourth book in Mark Greaney's Court Gentry series but can easily be read as a standalone. Mark Greaney immediately immerses the reader into the action. Tension mounts as the story unfolds, and things are definitely not what they appear at first glance. I love how Mark Greaney keeps the reader guessing about the underlying motives of the characters.

DEAD EYE is political intrigue at its finest, as no one can be trusted and everyone has a hidden agenda. The story starts off a bit technical as the action is filled with lots of military terminology. However, DEAD EYE quickly turns into a first rate thriller as the political tensions heat up. With the CIA, the Mossad, private contractors, and assassins involved--well, you know it has to be good! DEAD EYE twists and turns with each new revelation as Mark Greaney takes the reader on one heck of a wild ride!

Book Summary

Ex-CIA master assassin Court Gentry has always prided himself on his ability to disappear at will, to fly below the radar and exist in the shadowsâ€”to survive as the near-mythical Gray Man. But when he takes revenge upon a former employer who betrayed him, he exposes himself to something heâ€™s never had to face before.

A killer who is just like him.

Code-named Dead Eye, Russell Whitlock is a graduate of the same ultra-secret Autonomous Asset Program that trained and once controlled Gentry. But now, Whitlock is a free agent who has been directed to terminate his fellow student of death. He knows how his target thinks, how he moves, and how he kills. And he knows the best way to do the job is to make Gentry run for his lifeâ€”right up until the moment Dead Eye finally ends itâ€¦
