Back Blast by Mark Greaney follows Court Gentry, once the CIA's best agent, until the Agency turned against him, issuing a kill-on-sight order. It was then that the enigmatic international assassin known as the Gray Man emerged, with Court working independently ever since.

Court is determined to uncover the truth behind the Agency's betrayal. His plan is to interrogate his former partners and the officials responsible for his last mission. Unbeknownst to him, the mission's unanswered questions still echo within the US intelligence community, and he's inadvertently uncovered a secret powerful individuals want hidden. Now, he's become their target.

Accustomed to being pursued, Court finds himself in an unfamiliar predicament, now hunted on US soilβ€”the very place he wishes to avoid. He must uncover the truth of his past while eluding capture and, crucially, staying alive.
