The Paris Edge

"Mace is the best in the business - tough, smart, sexy, and lucky. An American expatriate, this private detective is on very intimate terms with the seedy underside of Paris's eighth district." "He stays alive in a deadly business by always being one move ahead of his opponent...that is, until Countess Erica Montaner's beautiful, tear-streaked face appears. Her husband, the fantastically wealthy Carlos, has been jailed for the embezzlement of vast sums of money - a crime he did not commit." "Recognizing that their marriage is a sham, Mace falls for the generosity of a woman who is nevertheless willing to sacrifice everything to exonerate her husband. Like a fly drawn to light, Mace dives into the excess and amorality of BCCI-style international banking, where polite but ruthless killers and femmes fatales predominate."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
