ABOUT THE BOOK

Jenner has been "minding" boorish Hollywood actor and author, Charlie Wallace, on a recent PR trip to London. Now Jenner is in Paris trying to find Wallace's daughter, Eleanor - pretty, rich, blonde, eighteen and missing.

Routine this is not, as Eleanor isn't all that she seems and Jenner gets involved in the fallout from her drug smuggling by way of a terrorist murder, the dirty power games of crooked gendarmes and big time gangsters. When his own name gets added to the hit lists he decides it is high time to act before the killers have a chance to get to him first.
