Jonathan Arnold reviewed The Old Man by Peter Berkrot
Review of 'The Old Man' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Probably more of a 3.5 star book, but still pretty interesting. It tells the story of "the old man", an ex-spy who recovered $20 million stolen dollars in a botched Libyan CIA plot but then was framed for stealing it. He lives quietly and anonymously until Libyan agents try to kill him, 20 years later. He then goes on the run, using fake identities he set up years ago. He keeps trying to do the right thing, but isn't allowed to and finally has to take matters into his own hand.
It's a fairly slight story, but told well and generally kept moving. Some interesting side stories and some interesting methods at staying hidden. I liked it and the reader did a good job of keeping it interesting.
