A Very Profitable War by Didier Daeninckx
It is January 1920: the aftermath of the war to end all wars. Ren? Griffon, a private detective with a Packard to pay for, is hired to investigate the marital infidelities of the wife of a war hero. Griffon's investigation plunges him into a murky world of blackmail, murder, anarchists, profiteering and the repercussions of the dark secrets of war. The people who helped France to win the war are being made to pay for the peace.
?A necessary reminder that what is dead is not buried, and what is buried is, unfortunately, not dead? Derek Raymond ?Didier Daeninckx is a novelist, magician and archeologist prince? Jerome Charyn
Born in 1949, Didier Daeninckx lives in Paris. Recognised as France's leading left-wing mystery writer, his work is translated into all European languages. His 1984 novel Murder in Memoriam forced the French government to try Nazi collaborators, led to a life of imprisonment for Paul Touvier and made President Mitterrand declare 16 July a day of national reflection on fascism and racism.
