Body of My Enemy

Francois always despised the textile barons who ruled his local town. But he fell in love with the family heiress Gilberte. Ten years ago, he would have married her. Now only hatred holds them together. Francois is accused of murder. A hooker and a football star lie slaughtered. He thinks he has been framed by the mob. Going underground, he finds that the trail leads all the way to the top - to Gilberte's family. He needs friends. And friends are hard to come by in his town. François Leclercq returns to his home town after seven years in prison. He was once an up-and-coming businessman who gained access to the world of the rich and powerful through his relationship with the daughter of an influential industrialist. But his dream was brutally shattered - he was accused and convicted of murder. Unjustly. Now, with an iron will and a cool head, François embarks on a dangerous path to expose the real culprits - those who once used him and then dropped him cold. With every encounter, every memory and every discovery, François tightens the noose around his enemies - people who appear sophisticated on the surface, but in reality spin a web of corruption, drug dealing and double standards. As he fights his way back into their world, it becomes clear that he is no longer the same man he once was. He is a stranger in his own history - a man who has nothing left to lose.
