The Paris directive : a novel
(Book)

In Berlin, two former French intelligence agents hire Klaus Reiner, a ruthlessly effective hit man, to eliminate an American industrialist vacationing in southwestern France. Reiner easily locates his target in the small village of Taziac, but the hit is compromised when three innocent people are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Inspector Paul Mazarelle finds the case complicated by the arrival of the victims' daughter, a New York City district attorney.
