The Smell of Gold

"The Scent of Gold" grabs you from the first pages and keeps you tense until the very last line. In this book Mark Girland (the hero of several of Chase’s novels)—the best agent of the chief of the French branch of the CIA, John Dorn—must unravel a case of blackmail, the case of “Julia Sherman.” Henry Sherman was the first candidate for the U.S. presidency who turned to Dorn for help, because an unknown blackmailer in Paris is trying to eliminate Sherman’s candidacy in the upcoming elections.
