2The CIA wants him silenced. The Russians want his secrets. Mossad wants him dead. A retired agent on the run, battling Alzheimer's, wants to get home.

After serving in the CIA with distinction and now battling Alzheimer's, Stewart Masterson is "rewarded" with detention in an assisted living facility.

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

Ruthless intelligence agencies are closing in on Masterson. He struggles to remember a lifetime of training and instincts to save him. What if his most formidable enemy is himself?

"Dick Schmidt's book 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. Dick puts a relatable human perspective on the challenges faced by those afflicted with Alzheimer's disease and drives home the importance of treating people with respect and consideration. I appreciate him for representing the Alzheimer's community with so much humanity in this work."

"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."
