1992. In the underground archives of the KGB, agent Alexei Soloviev discovers by chance a secret will of Adolf Hitler seized in his bunker by the Red Army after his suicide. Thirty years later, unusual disturbances in Islamist circles connected with neo-Nazi organizations lead the young Intelligence Services analyst, Melanie Carson, to infiltrate a group of white supremacists in Pennsylvania. A discovery as terrifying as it is unexpected will lead her into a dangerous adventure with her new companion, Jeff Cartright.
NAZIS FASCINATED BY SECRET SOCIETIES AND OCCULTISM Would the Nazi expeditions to Tibet in the 1930's have enabled Himmler to find the original text of the Karma of Kalachakra, an esoteric work attributed to the Buddha himself, which allows the followers of Dalai Lama's to find the reincarnation of their leader? Could neo-Nazis, whose rallying sign is the number "88" – an 8 for each "H" in "Heil Hitler" – have succeeded in taking control of several terrorist organizations, with the common objective of upsetting the world order and perhaps resurrecting the Third Reich?
A BREATHLESS HUNT AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF CURRENT EVENTS AND HISTORICAL FACTS While Melanie and Jeffrey try to find Alexei Soloviev, the only person to know Hitler's last wishes, a new "Islamist Spring" shakes Indonesia and its more than two hundred million inhabitants. But who is Habib Saragih, the mysterious leader of the revolutionary movement whose financial resources seem unlimited?
From Washington to Pennsylvania, from Boston to Moscow, from Eastern Germany to Banda Aceh and the suffocating jungles of Sumatra, The Third Testament takes the reader on a breathtaking adventure where reality often surpasses fiction.
Born in Algeria, when it was still a French department, I was exiled to France with the rest of my family after its independence. After studying law, I devoted myself to journalism, mainly in the field of cinema, which was and remains one of my passions. During my conscript time, I was hired by a French publishing house to write the memoirs of actress Romy Schneider, and went on to write an essay on cinema, which led me to organise several festivals on this theme before becoming a film distributor and then a producer.
In 1983, I moved to Hollywood, where I participated in the production of an action film directed by Simon Nuchtern: "Savage Dawn". Back to France, I became a full-time ghost writer. Between 1986 and 1991, I collaborated in the writing of more than twenty novels and essays.
I returned to journalism in 1992 and in 18 years I made nearly 20 documentaries in conflict zones, mainly in the Middle East, while publishing articles in many newspapers, including Le Figaro and the Jerusalem Post. This exciting experience allowed me to get back to writing novels. "Beyond Red Lines", my first book published in English, reflects my knowledge of terrorist and secret service circles. I now divide my life between New York, Paris and Tel Aviv, which has become my main residence.
