Twice a Spy: A Novel

by Keith Thomson Narrated by Danny Campbell

Overview

On the heels of Once a Spy, which PW hailed as a “wildly original debut [with] an action-packed story line,” Keith Thomson returns with a breakneck thriller that's twice as explosive as the original.

In the tradition of Robert Ludlum, with a witty twist, Thomson's second novel featuring a former spy and his son once again poses the question: What happens when a former CIA agent can no longer trust his own mind?

Charlie and Drummond Clark are now in Switzerland, hiding out from criminal charges in America and using the time to experiment with treatments to retrieve Drummond's memory. When NSA operative Alice Rutherford, with whom Charlie has fallen in love, is kidnapped, the Clarks must dodge a formidable CIA case officer and his team to get her back.

Editorial Reviews

AUGUST 2011 - AudioFile

This is part two of a spy vs. spy thriller that’s a cross between Robert Ludlum and Mad Magazine. It's fast, funny, frantic, and wildly entertaining. Inveterate horseplayer Charlie Clark and his father, a CIA operative with Alzheimer's who has escaped from a nursing home, travel the world trying to corral terrorist nukes that are disguised as washing machines. Danny Campbell uses exceptional timing and pacing to color each character and scene with the appropriate drama. He has a talent for rendering the senior Clark’s transitions into and out of lucidity. Campbell’s talent with his gravelly, macho voice even succeeds with the female characters. M.C. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
