ROGUE AGENT
Before his retirement, Ben Rance had been the C.I.A.s top man in France for ten years. Then the Cold War ended. Now he spends his days on the beach and his nights in the plush hotels of the Riviera.
But when Ben's replacement, Robby Scheider, is shot on the streets of Paris by an unknown gunman, the C.I.A. knows there is only one man to investigate.
At the funeral Ben meets Robby's sexy fiance, Dominique Duvall, a woman seeking revenge against her boy friend's killer.
Ben and Dominique track the clues from the busy streets of Paris to the quiet towns of the French country side, a pair of hired assassins only a few steps behind them. Every lead turning into a dead end: Gabin, one of Robby's agents disappears. Simone, the only witness to the murder is murdered herself. And Mr. Hanson of the C.I.A. claims that all of Robby's files have been shredded.
The only remaining clues point to a toy factory owned by wealthy Paris businessman Jean Cavalier. But why does his toy factory have armed security guards and an electrified fence?
As Ben and Dominique follow the clues from Paris to San Francisco, they are pulled into a terrifying race against time; where hired killers, car chases, hand to hand fights, and double crosses are the norm. Ben and Dominique work together in order to survive, and romance follows.
But their relationship is put to the ultimate test, when the trail to Robby's killer leads back to the victim.
Is Robby still alive? And is he master-minding the re-opening of the "French connection", using Cavalier's toys to smuggle heroin into the USA?
"ROGUE AGENT" is a fast paced espionage thriller in the tradition of "The Third Man" and "The Ipcress File" with a story ripped from today's headlines.
