Amazon.com description: Product Description: Drummond Clark was once a spy of legendary proportions. Now Alzheimerâs disease has taken its toll and heâs just a confused old man whoâs wandered away from home, waiting for his son to fetch him.Â
Â
When Charlie Clark takes a break from his latest losing streak at the track to bring Drummond back to his Brooklyn home, they find it blown sky highâand then bullets start flying in every direction. At first, Charlie thinks his Russian âcreditorsâ are employing aggressive collection tactics. But once Drummond effortlessly hot-wires a car as their escape vehicle, Charlie begins to suspect thereâs much more to his father than meets the eye. He soon discovers that Drummondâs unremarkable career as an appliance salesman was actually a clever cover for an elaborate plan to sell would-be terrorists faulty nuclear detonators. Drummondâs intricate knowledge of the âdeviceâ is extremely dangerous information to have rattling around in an Alzheimerâs-addled brain. The CIA wants to âcontainâ him--and so do some other shady characters who send Charlie and Drummond on a wild chase that gives âfather and son quality timeâ a whole new meaning.
Â
With Once a Spy, Keith Thomson makes his debut on the thriller stage with energy, wit, and style to spare.
From the Hardcover edition.
