Charlie and Drummond Clark are at it again! This book starts two weeks after the end of "Once a spy" (for those poor in math skills, the first of the series). To bring you up to speed. Drummond is a high value spy who knows all the details of a super secret arms program headed by the C.I.A. The big problem is that Drummond is now prone to forget things because of early onset Alzheimer disease. Of course, his former employer is worried he might forget that he is supposed to keep certain facts about his cover as an appliance salesman secret. Who knows what might come up in conversation with a guy like Drummond? The first book gets us to the point of escape for Drummond, Charlie and Alice...the love interest/can you trust her/also an agent. This book picks up two weeks in while on the run (they aren't even sure who all they are running from), as Charlie is getting schooled on more spy stuff and finding out here is pretty good at it. After all of their precautions, Alice is kidnapped and held for the ransom of a special washing machine from the longtime cover company for whom Drummond worked. Adventure ensues. Charlie and Drummond are both trying to protect each other now and their relationship is enjoyable. Charlie gets hints about what to do and breaks through the Alzheimer barrier by asking his dad questions about what an agent in this type of situation should consider doing now...This book is loads of fun despite the few rather hard to believe situations. I anxiously await "Thrice a spy" that the author assures me should be out in 4 years.
