YA
Daniel's grandfather, Da, retired from his government job, begins hinting at former involvement in political intrigue, coups, and assassinations. When old "friends" begin showing up, worried that Da might reveal past deeds, Daniel and Da hit the road. The premise is great, developed with brilliant prose and featuring characters who are sympathetically and vividly evoked.
