Charlie Clark's father, Drummond Clark, was konce probably the best secret spy in the world. Today, Drummond Clark is a former spy suffering from Alzheimers.

Charlie thought his father was an appliance salesman that paid very little attention to his son, Charlie's mother, a doting mother, was killed while Charlie was still a young boy. Well, maybe not, could it be that his mother was a spy also and her death had to be arranged by the government?

Charlie finds himself, and his father, in a fight for their lives. A wild chase has begun and his father is going in and out of lucidity, and there is some question as to who they are running away from. There is the social worker, Helen Mayfield (if this is her right name), who may actually be part of the CIA, DEA, or maybe MI6. Of course, Charlie thinks he is being pursued by Leo Grudzev and the Russian Mafia, trying to collect a long overdue bill.

Then there is Drummond, when lucid, is sure he is being pursued by former colleagues because he has become a liability. He knows some very secret secrets that he might compromise due to his Altzheimers.

There is action throughout the book with enough comedy to satisfy everyone's funny bone. Some of the wit is very reminiscent of "Get Smart", although there is no "cone of silence" or "telephone shoe".

Absolutely a delightful read that will satisfy the mystery and comedy need in any reader.
