Silver Fox

By Borba, Adam

First published 2027

"A riotous debut spy comedy that follows an elderly retired CIA operative who has to dust off his skills after spotting his old foe at a party, for fans of Slow Horses and Killers of a Certain Age. Harvey Fox - eighty-three years-old, widowed, and retired from the CIA - has been thrown out of yet another assisted living facility, this time for sleeping with seven different women (nine if you count nursing staff). With nowhere else to go, he reluctantly moves in with his grown daughter, Nancy. Harvey's greatest skill as an operative was always his ability to charm anybody, but Nancy is frustratingly immune to his charisma. Meanwhile, he's been sidelined by his granddaughter in favor of teenage drama and subjected to the company of Nancy's insufferable Silicon Valley venture capitalist husband. Feeling out of sorts and in the way, Harvey is planning his next move when his son-in-law invites him to a party with fellow VCs. Harvey is stunned to see a familiar face in the crowd - Dmitri Volkov, the KGB agent who'd nearly killed him half a century ago. What is Volkov doing in California? Why is he rubbing elbows with American tech companies with defense contracts?
