Time is of the essence, pressure mounts on the Surete to get results. Achille's chief orders him to work with his former partner, Inspector Rousseau, now in charge of a special unit in the newly formed political brigade. But can Achille trust the detective who left him down on another case? Inspector Lefebvre uses innovative forensics and a network of police spies to uncover a secret alliance, a scheme involving the same of a cutting-edge high explosive, and an assasination plot that threatens to ignite a world war." --from cover.
