The Paris Vendetta by Steve Berry

The plot of Steve Berry‘s most recent novel, The Paris Vendetta (New York:  Ballantine Books-Random House, 2009), didn’t seem as complex as those of his previous novels.  He didn’t tie together so many different elements, and the characters weren’t spending as much time jetting from one part of the globe to another.  The majority of the action took place in Denmark, England, and France–mostly in France, which made sense since the historical focus was on Napoleon, with some references to the Merovingian kings and the Nazis.
