What can I say??
"If Robert Ludlum and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn were to collaborate on a thriller, they'd come up with The Burning Lake by Brent Ghelfi. If they were lucky".—Keith Thomson, author of Once a Spy and Twice a Spy
Who is Keith you ask? A 2010 First Mystery Pick and writes for The Huffington Post... and he's rented a mini drone to fly around inside the store March 15
Razor-sharp writing, laugh-out-loud humor, and a sturdy plot combine to make Thomson's sequel to Once a Spy a real treat for thriller fans tired of more of the same old same old. Charlie Clark has left his life as an inveterate gambler far behind as he and girlfriend Alice go on the lam in Switzerland from Alice's employer, the NSA, and a special CIA black ops unit known as Cavalry. The real star of the group is Charlie's father, Drummond Clark, who after a career as a CIA agent is sinking into the throes of early Alzheimer's, but who's able, when the occasion demands, to revive his old skills and save their skins. The plot surrounds the sale to terrorists of a small nuclear bomb disguised as a washing machine. The nonstop action and quirky, engaging characters will leave readers eager for the next installment and the next and the next. (Mar.)
