A finalist for the Barry Award for Best Thriller Edgar Award-winning author Thomas Perry writes thrillers that move almost faster than a speeding bullet ( Wall Street Journal ).
Armed mercenaries, spectacularly crashed cars, a precarious love interest, and an unforgettable chase scene through the snow--this is lethal plotting from one of the best in crime fiction..
Just as he had begun to think himself finally safe, Chase must reawaken his survival instincts to contend with the history he has spent his adult life trying to escape.
And someone still wants him dead because of them.
When the plan turned sour, Chase reacted according to his own ideas of right and wrong, triggering consequences he could never have anticipated.
Thirty-five years ago, as a young hotshot in army intelligence, Chase was sent to Libya to covertly assist a rebel army.
Most have not spent decades on the run.
But most sixty-year-old widowers don\'t have multiple driver\'s licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, and a bugout kit with two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet.
To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big mutts and a grown daughter he keeps in touch with by phone.
The Old Man is his latest whip-smart standalone novel.
