    About this series

    Set over the course of six decades, A Lion in the Grass documents the despair and hope of a spy who suffers the murder of friends and enjoys the success of mentoring protégés.

    The story is told through alternative viewpoints of Raymond, his protégés, and the French villain. The novel digs deeply into questions of love, self-doubt and hatred, all foisted upon Raymond during a career from which, he discovers, it is impossible to retire.

    An octogenarian at the end, Raymond learns that the Frenchman is planning to kill again. To thwart the Frenchman’s plot, the old spy and his protégés must engage in one last mission.

      The Greatest French Crime Writer You’ve Never Heard Of

      Mar 9, 2017

      The crime and espionage author Frédéric Dard is without doubt the most prolific and widely read Francophone writer with whom hardly anybody in the English speaking world, even serious crime genre aficionados, is acquainted. In the second half of the 20th century—he began writing seriously after the end of WWII and continued until his death in 2000—Dard produced over 300 novels.

However now, thanks to Pushkin Vertigo, Dard is being translated and made widely availab
