This is the most unusual novel. It amounts to a series of essays - thirty in all. They are the favorite topics for Scott Barlow and his wife, Mary Ellen. They include such headings as Napoleon, Eiffel Tower, London's War Room and Lisbon. It all came about when a Hollywood mogul and script writer talked Scott into writing the essays. The idea of a possible motion picture was waved as bait. So Scott's usual activity of traveling the world to help local authority with local problems was put on hold. In any event, the collect of the thirty eventually qualified as a novel.

Autorenporträt
Once again, Rick Chandler combines international treasure hunting with giving talks around the globe. Talk titles range from Napoleon, to mythology, to Winston Churchill, and to cruise ship crime. Featured talk centers range from Connecticut's Hollings General Hospital to Paris, to Portugal, to Germany, and to the Far East. Most talks have either an ever-present Mr. Nemesis in the audience or, later on, a mysterious Mr. Stalker. They have an eye on Rick and his quartet of close friends who accompany him on his many trips. At one point, ISIS, al Qaeda and Iraq enter the picture, and they threaten to overtake the world in due course. It takes all of Rick's energy and the efforts of Leon Cassell, the director of Gens de Verite and the French government to curtail such action. Leon stresses his years of police work and of teaching a course on Corrections, Crime and Criminology at the University of Paris. As a final maneuver, he resorts to lying about his making arrests in places beyond Paris. Captivating throughout, the book will leave you spellbound as you wish for the reading experience not to end.
