TCR #23 | Mark Greaney - ONE MINUTE OUT

Go behind the scenes with Mark as he discusses his latest novel ONE MINUTE OUT.
Mark Greaney burst onto the thriller scene in 2009 with his best-selling debut THE GRAY MAN. The pulse pounding introduction of Court Gentry, a government operative turned freelance assassin, put the thriller world on notice: Greaney was a force to be reckoned with.
The novel’s breakneck pace and sharp characterizations caught the attention of Tom Clancy, who tapped Greaney to cowrite the continuing adventures of Jack Ryan. Completing three novels co-written with Clancy, and four additional after the legendary author passed away, Greaney garnered an even larger following.
After years of writing two books a year, Mark Greaney stepped away from the Jack Ryan series to focus solely on the Gray Man novels. His inventive storytelling, constantly shifting locales, and wildly original action sequences set a new standard in the genre.
But it is the man at the heart of his novels, Court Gentry, aka Violator, aka The Gray Man that continues to surprise and delight his readers. And now, with ONE MINUTE OUT, Greaney shows a side of the Gray Man we have never seen before.
Written in first person, ONE MINUTE OUT gives readers the chance to see the world, not in black and white, but in shades of Gray.
