A Spy in the Hand

Mr. and Mrs. Spy Mystery #1

by Toni LoTempio

Meet Gary Preston and Clarissa McMillan, two actors who portrayed married spies on a now-defunct television series, Mr. and Mrs. Spy. The series has become a cult classic and Gary and Clarissa find themselves besieged by their own little horde of fans who follow them everywhere Since the show went off the air, Gary and Clarissa find themselves constantly in demand at fan reunions, much to the delight of the show's creator and producer, Harry Slominski. Clarissa's not too thrilled, though, about the constant contact with Gary-she finds it hard to deal with her attraction to the roughish actor, while Gary, on the other hand, makes it a point to constantly pursue her. When Harry turns up dead at a fan reunion, Gary and Clarissa find out his secret-Harry's been a real spy for years Now Gary and Clarissa find they must become spies, too, not only to trap a killer, but to save their country...and maybe kindle a little romance in the process?
