His father played a spy on TV. The operative word is "played." Robin Harris grew up watching the 60's spy show Spy Squad, starring his dad, Evan Harris. So when the police deem the mysterious death of a Russian woman with rainbow-colored hair a suicide, Robin knows better. Robin soon finds himself in the middle of an awesome plot that seems to be lifted directly from one of his father's Spy Squad episodes, and, as he discovers, his father really was a spy. Now Robin and his brothers have inadvertently walked onto the scene of a real life-and-death spy drama, and as far as the free world is concerned, Robin's entrance into the family business comes not a moment too soon.
Wow. This book is a tribute to Illya Cariacan of the Man from Uncle TV series. If you love the Avengers, I spy, or The man from Uncle you'll love this book.The story tells of a 60's TV spy series TV actor, his family and his real life as a Canadian spy. His old TV show buddies get involved with the bad guys, and his sons pick up some of the family trade.You do need to suspend belief due to the rocky plot line, but that just adds to the campyness that keeps us fans going. I wouldn't mind if they made it into a TV movie.
