    Masterly suspense for 6 hours plus

    If you're in to adventure and suspense this French made masterpiece (English subtitles) is for you. Originally shown on TV, the plots in the book are faithfully followed. It's gripping from beginning to end, plus occasional dark humour. Shows what European artistry can do at its best.
