Tipped off about a high-profile assassination days before Princess Diana’s death, British journalist Jon King sets out to uncover the truth about the Paris car crash, and finds himself at the centre of a deadly conspiracy. Can he expose its sinister web? Based on a true story.
Excerpt:
“You were in Paris, James―”
“Yes, but…”
“―In the tunnel. We wouldn’t want those kind of photographs falling into the wrong hands.”
Feverishly Andanson stubbed out his unfinished cigar and leaned forward across the table. His voice became an urgent whisper. “Do I look crazy? Do you think I would keep photographs of MI6 agents on the ground, outside the Ritz, inside the tunnel?”
“Why not? Tabloid editors would give their rectal virginity for photographs like that. Worth a lot of money.”
“But I already have a lot of money, Monsieur Mason. Thanks to you I have a very good life.”
“Yes.”
As though deliberating Andanson’s fate Mason sat back in his seat and swilled his Cognac and Club Soda in its glass one more time. Then downed the liquid in one.
“Long life, James,” he said, replacing the empty glass on the table between them. “Long life.”
