Publisher's Synopsis
'USA is Shackville.. This barbaric American civilisation..'
So speaks the French President two weeks before leaving for a Moscow summit meeting. Is some world-shaking conspiracy planned during his absence?
Marc Grelle, Prefect of the Paris police, uncovers plans by hard-line saboteurs for a coup. Plunged into a maze of intrigue, he detects a link between the wartime Resistance hero, The Leopard, and the plot.
History believes the Leopard is dead. Could he still be alive, his identity unknown? Could he be masterminding the conspiracy?
Marc Grelle pursues the idea that one of four cabinet ministers could be this invisible plotter. Working with the help of British and German agents, pursued by professional assassins, Grelle fights to unmask the enemy before it is too late.
In Marc Grelle, Forbes has created one of the most unusual and memorable heroes in British fiction.
