Bob Dumont, secret agent, is constantly fighting the evil Igor. From one adventure to the next, our over-trained hero with devastating charm fights to prevent him from becoming the master of the world. But as he leaves the arms of a stewardess on a Singapore street, Dumont meets an opponent of a different calibre. Delafeuille, a Parisian publisher, has no intention of swallowing the implausible, racist and sexist clichés of this novel once again. The world of books has changed, readers have other demands. To breathe new life into this story, the publisher decided to go back into the novel, to get Bob Dumont and take him to John Davis, the author, to have a little conversation between men...
With this inventive and surprising pastiche of a spy novel, Luc Chomarat leads us into a novelistic imbroglio of the most delightful. Chases and fight scenes are mixed with a fine and malicious portrait of authors and editors.
