Il Pleure Dans Mon Coeur
Lost and alone, Michael Mahoney wanders the streets of Paris in the early sixties in a drunken haze. Only a short time earlier, his beloved older brother is killed on the battlefield before his eyes during a covert mission to steal secret enemy plans. So, he replaces his sadness with booze, crime and women. He sleeps in an alley and lives day-to-day on his wits, his survival instinct and his skill as a pickpocket.
Michael learns that his covert mission was never completed, and that he holds the key to finishing what he, his brother and his decimated team started. The tenuous post-World War peace and volatile Cold War equilibrium in western Europe hinges on his survival and his ability to rise from his despair to motivate himself to take action – as only he can. With the infamous, mysterious and ruthless assassin, known only as ‘The Bull’, closing in on him, Michael finds himself tangled in a web of secret identities, deceptive agendas and suspicious alliances as he races against time to finish what he and his brother started, and save the young woman he loves in the process.
