## Summary

Netflix’s plans to build a film franchise around Mark Greaney’s *The Gray Man* have stalled after the 2022 adaptation received poor reviews and its sequel faced repeated delays. The book series continues, however, with its 16th instalment, *Dark Union*, scheduled for publication in 2027.

Berkley will publish *Dark Union* on 16 February 2027, nearly a year after the 15th novel, *The Hard Line*, reached No. 3 on the *New York Times* bestseller list. The new story follows assassin Courtland Gentry as he investigates the unexpected return of his brother, a police officer believed to have died in the line of duty nine years earlier.
