An old-style, spy novel, type of mystery based around a fictitious assassination attempt an Charles de Gaulle. Although the first half of the book was a bit dry, once the chase to catch the assassin before he can carry out his plan begins, the pace picks up and the story draws you right in.
NOTE: I use a 0 to 5 system to rate what I've read. A book or article that has no rating at all is either waiting to be finished, or I've not had the chance to rate it yet.
0 = I disliked the book, and do not recommend it at all. 1 = The book was just tolerable enough to finish. 2 = The book was okay but nothing to write home about. 3 = The book was fair enough to read at least once. 4 = The book was enjoyable and definitely worth reading. 5 = I thoroughly enjoyed the book or it had a lasting impact.
