Once A Spy: A Novel

With wit, adventure, and style to spare, this gripping and utterly original thriller is a spy story that sticks (The Dallas Morning News).

When Charlie Clark takes a break from his latest losing streak at the track to bring home his Alzheimer’s-addled father, Drummond, they’re attacked by two mysterious shooters. At first, Charlie thinks his Russian creditors are employing aggressive collection tactics. But once Drummond effortlessly hot-wires a car, Charlie discovers that his unassuming father was actually a deep cover CIA agent … and there is extremely sensitive information rattling around in his troubled mind. Now the CIA wants to contain him, so the two embark on a wild chase through the labyrinthine world of national security that will force them to confront unspeakable danger, dark conspiracies, and what it means to be a father and son.
