Story
When ex-MI5 operative Joe Mason is sent to Rome to guard an elderly professor and his daughter, he thinks he’s in for an easy ride. But on their first day in the Vatican secret archives, a masked assassin gains entry, shoots Joe’s client in cold blood and steals an ancient manuscript. Giving chase, Joe can’t imagine what could lie within those pages that would make someone willing to kill. The search for answers leads Joe and his comrades in a race against time, across continents and into treacherous mountains.

Story
Court Gentry is known as The Gray Man—a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, and then fading away. And he always hits his target. But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness. Now, he is going to prove that for him, there's no gray area between killing for a living-and killing to stay alive.

Publisher's Summary
Some legends lie buried for a reason....
To fight extraordinary odds, you need an extraordinary man.
Under the fierce heat of the Australian outback, the laws of nature serve a rough justice. When a man vanishes deep in the Northern Territory, local police write it off. But his family suspect otherwise—and when the call for help goes out, Ben Hope and Jeff Decker are there to hear it.
Ben’s instincts, honed by years of Special Forces missions, soon see the story told by a trail of bullet casings, rumours of a missing map and a lethal cocktail of greed, power and money.
This savagely beautiful land holds a secret it won’t give up easily—and for Ben, discovering the truth will mean not only going up against a small army of hired guns and their twisted paymaster but also surviving a place where the wilderness is as powerful as the weapons his enemies have trained on him.
Critic Reviews
"Compelling from the first page until the last, Mariani and his fabulous protagonist Ben Hope entertain in a gripping tale that will have you turning the pages well into the night." (Mark Dawson)
"Thrilling. Scott Mariani is at the top of his game." (Andy McDermott)
"A high level of realism…the action scenes come thick and fast. Like the father of the modern thriller, Frederick Forsyth, Mariani has a knack for embedding his plots in the fears and preoccupations of their time." (Shots Magazine)

Disappointing
I always look forward to a new Ben Hope & Jeff Decker book, but this one missed the mark. As an Australian it's bloody annoying when the narrator doesn't learn how to pronounce places and things correctly in our country. Not enough humour and I missed it.
In saying I can't wait to see who ends up in France in the next book

Underwhelming
I was looking for a crime story in the Australian outback.
Listening to it i kept hoping for some of the feelings of being in the middle of the country that I had experienced but it was missing. Much lauded Aussie slang, and references to Aboriginal culture and myths were contrived and disrupted the flow of the story for me.
A good effort at presenting the various accents but in this case another unnecessary distraction and to this Aussie not very accurate.
Fast moving and detailed descriptions of weapons and vehicles would suit some readers but not others.
I did finish it so something about the formula worked!
