The Marais Correspondence

Paris, 1948

A cache of letters surfaces in the Marais — the old Jewish quarter, still bearing the marks of the Occupation. The letters are in code. The code is not one that Leclerc's superiors recognise. The network behind them is not one that appears in any official file.

Leclerc is asked to identify the network. He is not asked to understand it. He does both anyway.

Networks within networks

The Marais Correspondence is the second novel in The Leclerc Dossiers — and the case that begins to reveal the layered intelligence architecture of post-war Paris. Not everything that operates in the shadows is hostile. Some of it is simply older than the institutions that now claim authority over it.

Leclerc is beginning to understand the difference.
