Description

The novel “Coplan Returns from Afar,” published in 1968, belongs to the period when the series was still among the most widely read, and its creators held moderately liberal views. Coplan appears here not only as a top-class professional spy, not only as a talented detective (at the end of the novel he brilliantly reveals the mystery behind the crime), but also as a wise, experienced mentor for the youth. Co-authors who chose the pen name Paul Kenny always introduce the most sharp and topical themes in all their books about Coplan. And what could be more topical than the theme of young people, when France (as well as the entire Western world) was shaken by youth unrest? That is why the story centers on the image of the twenty-four-year-old Monika Fallen—a girl who is beautiful, intelligent, and remarkable, with a life dramatically complicated by events. She came to work for a secret special service because she was unable to find a spiritual and moral support—something real and significant, something that could truly captivate her.
