Review:
* "Lynch's writing, parched with desert-dry humor, is so fine that a breakfast table conversation is just as gripping as the paranoia-laced scenes of the trio evading a shadowy doom. A compact, frayed-nerves bundle of brilliance.--"Booklist", starred review
"A great premise, developed with brilliant prose...characters are sympathetically and vividly evoked, and the brief novel is a model of good writing."--"The Horn Book"
"A psychological exploration that leaves readers with just as many interesting questions as answers."--"School Library Journal"
"Lynch's masterly balance of life-or-death road trip and tender grandfather/grandson relationship makes this an unusual, first-rate thriller."--"BCCB"

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A gripping account of espionage and loyalty that Booklist calls "a compact, frayed-nerves bundle of brilliance," from National Book Award Finalist Chris Lynch. All Daniel wants to do is spend one last summer with his grandfather before he moves away for college and his grandfather's dementia pulls them apart. But when his dear old Da starts to let things slip about the job he used to hold--people he's killed, countries he's overthrown--old work "friends" show up to make sure he stays quiet. Was his grandfather really involved in a world of assassinations and coups, or are the stories just delusions of a crumbling mind? On the run from the police (and possibly something worse) before he has time to find out, Daniel may have to sacrifice everything to protect his grandfather from those who would do him harm. Includes a sneak preview of the author's next novel entitled 'Pieces.' Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
