Über diesen Titel

 Drummond Clark was once a spy of legendary proportions.  Now Alzheimer’s disease has taken its toll and he’s just a confused old man who’s wandered away from home, waiting for his son to fetch him. 
 
When Charlie Clark takes a break from his latest losing streak at the track to bring Drummond back to his Brooklyn home, they find it blown sky high—and then bullets start flying in every direction.  At first, Charlie thinks his Russian “creditors” are employing aggressive collection tactics.  But once Drummond effortlessly hot-wires a car as their escape vehicle, Charlie begins to suspect there’s much more to his father than meets the eye.  He soon discovers that Drummond’s unremarkable career as an appliance salesman was actually a clever cover for an elaborate plan to sell would-be terrorists faulty nuclear detonators.  Drummond’s intricate knowledge of the “device” is extremely dangerous information to have rattling around in an Alzheimer’s-addled brain.  The CIA wants to “contain” him--and so do some other shady characters who send Charlie and Drummond on a wild chase that gives  “father and son quality time” a whole new meaning.
 
With Once a Spy, Keith Thomson makes his debut on the thriller stage with energy, wit, and style to spare. Internationale Krimis Krimis Politik & Spionage Spionage Thriller

The only explanation for e getting through this book is captivity in my car for over an hour a day on the way to and from work. What a ridiculous plot on the part of the author wanting us to swallow the story of a super spy suffering badly from Alzheimers desease only to return to lucidity and in old 007 form each time the opposition threatens, captures, tortures and generally tries to kill our heroes. Personal taste surely but the speaker of this book with his hoarse voice would be better off as a Mafioso in a film about the 20s in Chicago. Bad choice of book on my part....

Not credible, repetitive plot
