An Expensive Place to Die

Len Deighton

Set in Cold War-era Paris, the story follows a secret agent investigating a clinic on Avenue Foch that caters to the sexual and intellectual perversions of the elite. Behind the facade of 'psychedelic truth-drugs' lies a sinister operation involving the collection of incriminating dossiers on world leaders. As the agent delves deeper, he becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of blackmail and international espionage.
