The Old Man
The Old Man | Thomas Perry
8 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Edgar Award-winning author Thomas Perry writes thrillers that move almost faster than a speeding bullet (Wall Street Journal). The Old Man is his latest whip-smart standalone novel. 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. But most sixty-year-old widowers dont have multiple drivers licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, and a bugout kit with two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run. Thirty-five years ago, as a young hotshot in army intelligence, Chase was sent to Libya to covertly assist a rebel army. When the plan turned sour, Chase reacted according to his own ideas of right and wrong, triggering consequences he could never have anticipated. And someone still wants him dead because of them. 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. Armed mercenaries, spectacularly crashed cars, a precarious love interest, and an unforgettable chase scene through the snowthis is lethal plotting from one of the best in crime fiction.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was ok. Lots of action, but I wasn't sold on the over the top plot. And I didn't really feel invested with the characters. I watched the show, and had similar feelings about it. Neither were anything special.

Sometimes I need to take a break from the newsfeed, and when I do it‘s usually to Jack Reacher; justice done with ample retribution. While waiting for the next in the series, Picked up this book and it‘s equally good for some escapist in your face action before checking back into nefarious doings in real life. Plus not one but two (!) good dogs.
