Publisher's summary

A novel inspired by number one New York Times best-selling author Mark Greaney’s Audible Original drama, Armored.

Joshua Duffy is a Close Protection Agent—a professional bodyguard— and he's one of the world's elite operatives. That is, he was until his last mission in Lebanon. Against all odds, Josh got his primary out alive, but the cost was high. Josh lost his lower left leg.

There's not much call for an elite bodyguard with such an injury. So, Josh has to support his family working as a mall cop in New Jersey. For a man like Josh, this is purgatory on earth, but miracles can occur even in Paramus.

A lucky run-in with an old comrade promises to get Josh back in the field for one last job. The UN is sending a peace mission into the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico, an area so dangerous it's known as Espinazo del Diablo—the Devil's Spine. Only a fool would think they could broker peace between the homicidal drug cartels in the region, and only a madman would sign on to keep those fools alive.

Such an engaging book!

This book will keep you on the edge of your seat! With non-stop action and a narrated who brings it to life in the most amazing diversity of accents and intonations, you will be spellbound. When it ended I wanted to know what the next chapter of Josh Duffy’s life would include so I will watch for Mark Greaney’s next book which I hope will start where he left this one hanging😊
Do yourself a favor ( if you like suspense driven stories) and give it a listen!

Great story with a different twist than his typical

I’ve long been a fan of the gray man series and his writing style. I absolutely loved this book and I hope he writes more on this particular character or this type of venue I would definitely buy another one

DOESN’T DISAPPOINT

Not stop action with a conscience! It is in keeping with the kind of hero Gray Man is. The characters are well written and believable. It is an exciting listen and well worth your time.

Awesome!

Long time Mark Greaney fan. This title is one of his best, in my opinion. Brilliantly original story, very entertaining and action-packed. I liked that the story was not so complex that you had to re-listen to parts of the audio, but I couldn’t unravel the story until the author revealed it. It was well paced, the action never died for too long and the characters were all very “memorable”. Adam Gold did a decent job with narration.
