Twice a Spy: A Novel
The blurb:
In the tradition of Robert Ludlum, Thomson's novel featuring a former spy and his son poses the question: What happens when a CIA agent can no longer trust when a CIA agent can no longer trust his own mind?
Retired CIA operations officer Drummond Clark and his son, Charlie, are on the Iam in Switzerland, along with NSA operative Alice Rutherford. While Charlie helps Drummond undergo an experimental treatment for Alzheimer's, Alice works to exonerate them from criminal charges against them in the United States. That is, until she is renditioned -- or in lay language, kidnapped.
To get her back, the father-son duo must travel to Martinique and plumb Drummond's damaged memory to locate a hidden cache of weapons. All the while, the Clarks are tracked by a formidable CIA case officer and his team.
Review:
I enjoyed Twice a Spy
The father-son dynamic and Drummond Clark's dementia add a certain levity and sadness to the novel and make Twice a Spy
