Do you miss Spy couples? Do you yearn for Nick and Nora? Do you salivate at the thought of Moonlighting or Scarecrow and Mrs. King reruns? Did the Man from UNCLE make you swoon? How about Jerry and Pam North? Then, my friends, A SPY IN THE HAND is for you!

Clifton, NJ (PRWEB) November 13, 2004 -- Toni LoTempio, an ascending author from Clifton, New Jersey, is pleased to announce the release of her novel, A SPY IN THE HAND, first in the planned Mr. and Mrs. Spy Mystery Series.

Gary Preston and Clarissa McMillan, stars of retired TV series Mr. and Mrs. Spy, are schmoozing fans on the reunion circuit while fighting their mutual attraction-until their former producer, Harry Slominski, turns up dead. When they discover that Harry moonlighted as a double-agent on a mission to recover a microchip containing the formula for a deadly gas, Gary and Clarissa find themselves now cast in roles as real-life spies. They'll have to give the performance of their lives as they race to find the killer and recover the formula, before its put to sinister use. But do they have what it takes when there's no script and the bullets are blazingly real?
