Product Description
The author of the award-winning Lorraine Connection returns with yet another riveting tale of intrigue and corruption. A call-girl whose black book lists her elite international clients is found murdered, a mysterious plane bound for Iran disappears over Turkey - and the president's closest advisor, Bonard, is manipulating the system with consummate ease. It's up to rookie advisor Noria Ghozali to untangle the threads which bind these events together - and to combat the racism which repeatedly stalls her efforts.

good author; okay book

Manotti is always a good read, but this seems to me not to be the best of her work. Certainly, to call this a Noria Ghozali book overstates the role of that attractive investigator. The French cultural factors in terms of the relationship of an Arab investigator in the French police are interesting to me, given that my understanding of this is mainly from reading the NYTimes and not infrequent trips to Paris, but those are to areas not particularly involved in the cultural tensions. I was very much looking forward to this book, and to reading it as slowly as possible, but while I enjoyed it I didn't find it particularly memorable.
