The Practical Spy

A black eye patch and jagged scar do not make for the perfect undercover spy or a perfect husband. So in the middle of the game, Orson Platt decides that he needs to change the parameters. He hatches a plan to find the perfect mate, someone who could not only tolerate his behavior, but also provide the incentive to create the perfect spy, a practical spy for all seasons.Much feared and never married, disfigured by unsightly scars, Orson Platt sometimes thought he had the soul of a butterfly masked by a rough exterior and ruthless behavior. Midlife found him thinking about his legacy and thinking about how he might change his destiny. He decides he will create a perfect spy. Not in his own image, but in a more perfect image. He finds a woman who will accept him for who he is and who will help him create his legacy. He then becomes the unofficial right-hand man of the female President of the U.S. and runs overseas “errands” for her that can’t be accomplished through official channels. Along the way he encounters resistance and disappointments, but he is determined to follow through on his quest.
