Twilight at Mac's Place — Ross Thomas

"One of the best books by one of the best thriller writers at work today" -- a McCorkle and Padillo Mystery from the Edgar Awardâ€"winning author (USA Today).

In Twilight at Mac's Place, the quiet death of an aged spy triggers a desperate race to control his memoirs, which threaten to reveal Cold War secrets many would prefer stayed secrets. When the spy's estranged son receives the then dizzying sum of $100,000 for all rights to the work, he is properly dizzied. He is also smart enough to seek the help of veteran Cold Warriors McCorkle and Padillo, owners of a D.C. bar called Mac's Place that is both a capital landmark and a nest of intrigue.
