5-STAR REVIEW: BURNER by Mark Greaney

The Description

Gray Man: Book 12
Publication Date: February 21, 2023

When you kick over a rock, you never know what’s going to crawl out.

Alex Velesky is about to discover that the hard way. He’s stolen records from the Swiss bank that employs him, thinking that he’ll uncover a criminal conspiracy. But he soon finds that he’s tapped into the mother lode of corruption. Before he knows it, he’s being hunted by everyone from the Russian mafia to the CIA.

Court Gentry and his erstwhile lover, Zoya Zakharova, find themselves on opposites poles when it comes to Velesky. They both want him but for different reasons.

That’s a problem for tomorrow. Today they need to keep him and themselves alive. Right now, it’s not looking good.

The Review

Court Gentry works freelance intelligence jobs, which is why he finds himself tasked with destroying luxury yachts owned by Russian criminals in the opening chapter of the 12th installment of The Gray Man series.

The drama only gets deeper as Court finds himself squaring off with the Russian mob. Author Mark Greaney delivers an action-packed thriller with Burner. As someone new to the series, I had no problems claiming a front-row seat thanks to the helpful cast of characters guide.

Banker Alex Velesky receives information that, coupled with confidential transaction data, will expose all the secret financial operations tied to the Kremlin. The catch? Well, let’s just say Alex is no stranger to taking money from criminals.

Caught in a tug-of-war between the Russian mob and the CIA, Velesky is nabbed by Zoya Zakharova for safekeeping. A massive battle breaks out aboard a train, with Zoya and Court coming face to face. Both of them have been hired to watch over Velesky, but they face an uphill battle if they are going to make it out alive.

Burner delivers a timely tale of espionage and the different alphabet agencies trying to deliver justice. Greaney provides an exciting adventure that packs a punch.

REVIEW AUTHOR

Amy Wilson
Amy Wilson
My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the "you shouldn't be reading this" lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I'm just glad she didn't find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles -- all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups! "Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexie Blake, and Kristin Hannah are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Dean Koontz, Iris Johansen, and J.A. Konrath. I’m always ready to discover new-to-me authors, especially when I toss in a palate cleanser that is much different than what I would normally read. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.
