Paris Gone Dark

The past unlike a suitcase is never lost. It may be buried or hidden, but it is never gone.

Susan Dumond having survived an attempt on her life in Chicago returns to Paris where she intends to pick-up-the pieces of her deceased lover's criminal enterprise, but enemies he made seek revenge.

Billy Dee Jackson, a retired Chicago Police officer along with his friend Detective Jack Sheppard had worked the Chicago case. Jackson receives a phone call from an Inspector Alain Ricard of the Paris police. Ricard had gotten wind that a large-arms deal between a terrorist group of Mid-Eastern origin and this Susan may occur in his city. He would like Jackson's help.

Like a chess game the pieces are set in motion, and it's the queen that is the prize. Billy Dee along with inspector Ricard are among those who seek her capture.
