Patrick de Courvoisier, known in Cannes as Le Limier, is a retired British intelligence officer, living on his boat. The Cistercian monks on the nearby island of St. Honorat request his assistance in retrieving a valuable painting of the Madonna, executed by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. It seems that the missing artwork may well be connected to the job British intelligence wants de Courvoisier to undertake, to trace stolen art that may have direct ties to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, who are known to be Nazi sympathizers.
VERDICT James Bond has nothing on de Courvoisier, as he enjoys action-packed adventures up and down the southern coast of France, including stops at the famous Eden Roc Hotel in Cap d'Antibes. An exciting read for fans of Matthew Reilly, Lee Child, or Joseph Finder.
