An infrasound echo on a snowy fall morning grows into a cacophony, which launches Lieutenant Colonel Alexandra "The Fey" Hargreaves and the Fey Team into action. Together with Senator Patrick Hargreaves and his former intelligence team, they assess the risk and set a plan in motion. As pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place, the Fey Team divides to rescue a friend in North Korea, save the Secretary of State in Pakistan, and respond to multiple crises. Triumphant, the Fey Team loads into a helicopter and flies home for a quiet Thanksgiving. But Alex's home is not safe. Forces beyond their control push loving friends to violence and murder, leaving Alex in a pool of blood only to be saved by a brave young boy and a crazy Irishman. Lying in her hospital bed, a soldier-shaman and those from the beyond help Alex understand the entire puzzle. Seven weeks after that snowy morning in November, Alex's life changes forever. In the Grey is the fifth book in the Alex the Fey thriller series.
