The Dossier Author:Leonard Gross, Pierre Salinger "What would you say if I told you the probable new President of France was a Gestapo informer during the war?" — The speaker is Shiomo Glaser, Israeli agent, who reckons he has some evidence to support the preposterous allegation. Preposterous because the candidate in question, CAMILLE LAURENT, is a revered Resistance hero. — Well, what ... more »would you say? Perhaps not much; decades have passed, after all. The man has built a solid reputation as a conservative politician. However, if you are André Kohl, one of the world's top reporters, and chief in-depth investigator for a giant New York TV network, it is impossible to ignore the question. Even if it means abandoning a long-awaited sabbatical to follow an increasingly complex and dangerous trail all the way to the heart of Bolivia, the stronghold of SS General Kurt Hoepner, Laurent's alleged spymaster and the `Executioner of Clermont-Ferrand'.
André has contacts in high places but while his `friend' in Moscow makes it almost suspiciously easy for him to reach the dossier incriminating Laurent, the Secret Services of the West are equally suspiciously reluctant to co-operate. Indeed, they positively impede his progress. Why?
Salinger and Gross weave the strands of this tense and thrilling tale with intricate skill, building to a dramatic climax with all the questions open till the very end. And the story bears the authoritative hallmark of authenticity.« less
