I'm looking for books in French. Not the sort of thing that your French teacher would ask you to read but things you might read for pleasure. I'm trying to find books for my Dad. He likes mysteries and history, no scifi or fantasy or graphic novels. Thank you.

Hi, I have a book entitled L'Executeur: Blitz Eclair a Hollandia, a translation of a book by Don Pendleton.  It's about a hit man who makes it his mission to destroy the Mafia.  I've got others as well that I need to dig out of boxes (not listed on my bookshelf).  Let me know if you are interested.
