The Saint-Cloud Affair: A Paris Conspiracy

Paris, 1968. Revolution is in the air. So is murder.

When investigative journalist Jean-Luc Moreau uncovers a cache of forbidden photographs linking France's political elite to a brutal killing, he ignites a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power.

Suddenly hunted, Moreau forms a fragile alliance with Irina—enigmatic widow of the slain photographer—and Laurent Fabien, a rival reporter whose ambition hides dangerous secrets. Together they move through a Paris simmering with unrest: smoke-filled salons, rain-drenched rooftops, whispered deals in shadowed corridors.

But someone is always watching.

At the center stands Jacques Delmas—a ruthless political fixer who has buried scandals before… permanently.

The photographs could topple governments.

But in a city where everyone is compromised, the truth may be the deadliest weapon of all.

Perfect for readers of Alan Furst, Robert Harris, and John le Carré, The Saint-Cloud Affair launches The Shadow Wars, a gripping new historical thriller series of espionage, seduction, and survival in the City of Light.

Some secrets reshape history. Others get you killed.
