About this title

Synopsis

“Memory Road is a fascinating, page-turning story…” – Jim Nantz, CBS Sportscaster

The CIA wants him silenced. The Russians want his secrets. The Israeli Mossad wants him dead. A retired agent on the run, battling Alzheimer's, just wants to get home.

After serving in the CIA with distinction and now battling a debilitating disease, Stewart Masterson is “rewarded” with detention in an assisted living facility.

Longing for his late wife, his memory failing, Masterson escapes on the road navigating his way to find happiness with his daughter in Washington D.C.

But, ruthless intelligence agencies start tracking him in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. They are desperate to extract what he knows or shut him up forever.

Yet, Masterson struggles to remember the lifetime of training and instincts that can keep him alive.

What if his most formidable enemy is himself?

“Memory Road is a fascinating, page-turning story about one man’s journey to find home. Masterson is a relatable character who, despite personal challenges and dangerous obstacles, perseveres toward his final destination with the help, or hindrance, of an interesting cast of characters. Also, I appreciate Dick Schmidt for representing the Alzheimer’s community with so much humanity in this work.”

Jim Nantz, CBS Sportscaster and founder of the Nantz National Alzheimer Center

“What an enjoyable read! Memory Road is cleverly crafted with a timely plot involving believable characters and real-life challenges. The story follows a retired CIA agent’s quest for home as he battles his most formidable enemy—himself. Schmidt has written a compelling human story that, instead of focusing on disability, accurately highlights compassion and capabilities.”
