Murder In Paris '68: A true story of death and glamour

Dive into the demimonde of 1960s Paris where high-life and low-life collide in this utterly gripping, novelised non-fiction account of the Marković Affair. Edward Chisholm immerses the reader in a world of glamour, sports cars, casinos, and nightclubs, featuring actresses, petty criminals, high-level gangsters, and compromised politicians.

At the dark heart of this era, fueled by the global success of French cinema, stands an enigmatic film star, dubbed 'the most beautiful man in the world,' who lived dangerously close to the edge. When an associate's body is found outside Paris, questions arise, especially given the star's recent fame playing a stylish murderer in film. This true story reads like a tremendous thriller as the events spiral out of control, pulling down the central figure and everyone in his orbit.
