In Ephraim Clark’s The Paris Protocol, Brad James is an American singer in 1976 Paris who is also an undercover CIA agent. When his handler sends him to the Spanish resort town of Salou to watch Barry Breene, a rogue FBI agent accused of domestic terrorism, Brad expects a surveillance job. Instead, Barry warns him that powerful people in Washington may want them both dead. Back in Paris, Brad follows a connection between a modeling agency and an escort service that gathers compromising material on influential clients. The trail leads to Data Management, a private intelligence company with secrets reaching far beyond France. As September 22 approaches, Brad discovers that the hidden operation is linked to a political plan called the Paris Protocol, placing him inside a conspiracy that could alter the American government.
Ephraim Clark’s The Paris Protocol is brilliant historical espionage fiction, and proves just how much period detail can sharpen a conspiracy thriller. Clark puts readers right inside the dirty-white townhouse in Boulogne-Billancourt, where an ordinary ground floor hides a filming studio that turns the building into one of the book’s most unsettling places. The best part is Sherri Ann. I love it when a woman everybody thinks they understand turns out to be the smartest person in the room, and Clark gives us exactly that. Her probability calculations are funny at first, then become part of the way she stays alive. Harriet Banderman is excellent too, because Clark gives her charm that makes every scene around her dangerous. Well written and unpredictable, readers who enjoy historical espionage fiction will adore this.
