In this first novel of a new series, Thomson makes his debut on the thriller stage with energy, wit, and style to spare. A former spy now ravaged by Alzheimer's is thrust back into danger--and now his son is in deep as well.

In this follow-up to "Once a Spy," Charlie and Drummond Clark are hiding out in Switzerland and trying to retrieve Drummond's memory. When NSA operative Alice Rutherford, with whom Charlie has fallen in love, is kidnapped, the Clarks must dodge a formidable CIA case officer and his team to get her back.
