Edgar Award-winning author Thomas Perry writes thrillers that move 'almost faster than aspeeding bullet' (Wall Street Journal). The Old Man is his latest whip-smart standalone novel.

To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big dogs and a growndaughter with a life of her own. But most sixty-year-old widowers don't have multiple drivers'licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country and two Beretta nanos stashed in thespare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run. Now, the toppling of a MiddleEastern government suddenly makes Dan Chase and the stunt he pulled thirty-five years agoas a young hotshot in army intelligence a priority again. Racing across the country and beyond,Chase must reawaken his survival instincts to contend with the history he has spent his adultlife trying to escape, coming face-to-face with an army veteran turned agent who plays thegame just as he once did.
