The President's Hat

A delightfully charming and humorous story… hats, in fact. Starting out as a comedy, the plot unfolds into an engaging detective story, and then—into a love-and-spy novel involving the secret services… President François Mitterrand left his favorite felt hat in a restaurant. Daniel took the hat as a souvenir—and from that moment his career took off! Then the hat ends up in the hands of an aspiring writer—the creator of perfumes, of a wealthy bourgeoisie—who happily changes everyone’s lives and then gets lost again… But, as they say, you can’t escape fate: the lucky talisman hat returns to its owner, who easily wins the next election.
