Synopsis

Someone is targeting the most powerful people in Paris--only Jack Morgan can make it stop.

When Jack Morgan stops by Private's Paris office, he envisions a quick hello during an otherwise relaxing trip. But Jack is quickly pressed into duty after getting a call from his client Sherman Wilkerson, asking Jack to track down his young granddaughter, who is on the run from a brutal drug dealer. Before Jack can locate her, several members of France's cultural elite are found dead-murdered in stunning, symbolic fashion. The only link between the crimes is a mysterious graffiti tag. As religious and ethnic tensions simmer in the City of Lights, only Jack and his Private team can connect the dots before the smoldering powder keg explodes.

Terrorism and radicalism come to Paris in this Private book, and of course Jack finds a way to aggravate the local authorities while outsmarting them.

Goodreads review by Nicole on August 30, 2017

I thought this was going to be a lot like the last book with a rather dull storyline but after a while it definitely got better.
