Merle

Jacques Fort, a former gendarme turned investigator, delves into the murky world of commercial sabotage - a place where people lie and misrepresent, and where information is traded and used as a threat.

The Vaux organisation is losing contracts and money, and Jacques is asked to undertake an internal investigation. As he works through the complexity of all the evidence, he finds more than he bargained for, and his own life is threatened.

When a body of a woman is found, it appears to be suicide. But as the investigation takes another turn, Jacques suspects there is more to it.

Who is behind it all...and why? Will Jacques find the answer before another person ends up dead?
