The Paris Network - Burton Shirley

A fast-moving thriller in Paris. In a stark contrast from their idyllic lives on the charming cobblestone streets of Montmartre, Rachel and Thomas become drawn into the web of a terror plot designed to destroy the core of central Paris.

     Instantly, they alert Interpol of the extent of their discovery of the planned drone attacks over the city, combined with a network of underground bombs that would collapse the main historical sections of Paris, with the horror of thousands of lives lost.

     The protagonists' lives are jeopardized as they conceal a vital item that was recovered from a terrorist drone, and they reach out to their old friend and nemesis from former times, Daniel Boisvert. As the trio of Thomas, Rachel and Daniel take steps to thwart the attacks, the terrorists step up the stakes with a daring plan to kidnap Rachel for a ransom.

     In a modern world of upheaval and terror threats, the unfolding drama reminds us of words of Napoleon, that victory comes to the most preserving, with freedom, equality and fraternity.
