The French Correction

The Riviera is the scene of Truman Cottrell's second novel. Inspector Ren Martin of the French National Police is called upon to untangle the webs woven by Corsican Mafia boss Henri Casanova, who involves some nave American students in coersion, grand larceny, and murder. Along the way the police inspector falls in love with his American witness, but must choose between love and duty. Cottrell blends his masterful story into the historical background of the beautiful Cte d'Azur, the ancient island culture of Corsica, the problems of modern France, and contemporary intercontinental romance.
