The Take, Reich - C-

                                              This not very adequate novel starts with a Saudi prince leaving the George V in Paris on his way to the airport along with a half-dozen cars and the appropriate security. A hijacking that steals his walking around money and a mysterious letter lead to a clash of security services from the US, Russia, the UK and France, chasing each other all over France, a lot of shooting, some very hi-tech hijinks and a totally implausible plot line.
