It is 1995. Jacques Chirac, President of France, orders a series of nuclear tests in the Pacific, undeterred by international outrage. Greenwar, a covert hard-line environmental organization, led by ex-Greenpeace activist Sheryl Glister, passes the death sentence on Chirac. Finance is provided by a dying multi-millionaire; logistical support by a cabal of Chirac's political enemies. This alliance of idealism, money, and sedition, recruits Dennis Lux, contract killer, to carry out the sentence. The challenge is huge but Lux is confident he can do it. Until, as the Day of the Jackal reborn draws closer, Ghislaine Fougere, freelance reporter, enters his life and turns it upside down. To back out would be to bring the wrath of the conspirators down on them both. Chirac must die as planned, and on the appointed day Lux fires the bullet of retribution. Chirac dies, yet Chirac lives on. This story, pieced together from stolen French Government archives, reveals the truth of this paradox."
