Publisher's Synopsis
When Vince Treadwell spots a famous jewel thief in Soho one night and the next day reads about a daring robbery at the Ritz, he takes it upon himself to investigate the case as the missing jewels belong to the beautiful French movie star Capuchine, with whom he is smitten. But it soon leads to murder - and he is the chief suspect. In prison and looking at a life sentence, he is offered a lifeline from his old friend at Interpol, Ray Dryden. He wants Vince to go undercover and return the jewels to the movie star, who is secretly dating hotshot producer, Carlo Messina. In reality Messina is one of the biggest gangsters in Marseille, running a heroin pipeline to America.
