SYNOPSIS

Jacques Forêt, a former gendarme turned investigator, delves into the murky world of commercial sabotage – a place where people lie and misrepresent, and where information is traded and used as a threat.
The Vaux organisation is losing contracts and money, and Jacques is asked to undertake an internal investigation. As he works through the complexity of all the evidence, he finds more than he bargained for, and his own life is threatened.
When a body of a woman is found, it appears to be suicide. But as the investigation takes another turn, Jacques suspects there is more to it.
Who is behind it all…and why? Will Jacques find the answer before another person ends up dead?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Messandrierre Angela Wren Angela Wren
I’m an actor and director at a small theatre
a few miles from where I live in Yorkshire in the UK.
I did work as a project and business change manager
– very pressured and very demanding –
but I managed to escape and now I write books.
I’ve always loved stories and story telling
so it seemed a natural progression, to me, to try my hand at writing.
My first published story was in an anthology,
which was put together by the magazine ‘Ireland’s Own’ and published in 2011.
I particularly enjoy the challenge of plotting and planning different genres of work.
My short stories vary between contemporary romance, memoir, mystery and historical.
I also write comic flash-fiction
and have drafted two one-act plays that have been recorded for local radio.
My full-length stories are set in France where I like to spend as much time as possible each year.

Bastille Day deals

Bastille Day deal

How are you celebrating the storming of the Bastille? The French national holiday calls for something French. So, if you can’t actually go to France for the parade on the Champs-Elysée or attend the dances and festivities traditionally held at fire stations across the country, you can pick up a book from Le French Book and be transported to France.

Le French Book has put together a reading list for Bastille Day, with some deep discounts on these books set in France (mostly, at least), by French authors, chosen and translated for you.

MessandrierreClick on the book cover to know more about the book

Jacques waited for a response.
“Oh, yes, the young man with the telephone, darling, you remember…”
She walked over to the sideboard and collected her cigarettes and then sat at the table beside her husband. “I think we asked him for tea, didn’t we?”
John smiled as he verbalised the thought. Madame breathed in the fumes from her cigarette.
“That’s right, darling.”
She let the smoke escape into the air as she spoke. “And he said he was in a hurry, darling, and refused our invitation.” She pointedly stared at him.
