M**der in Paris ’68 with Edward Chisholm at Hatchards Cheltenham

Edward Chisholm joins us to talk about his thrilling new history book, which takes us back to the fabulous but dangerous world of 1960s Paris, where the high-life and the low-life go hand in hand. It is a time of glamour, sports cars, casinos, actresses, petty criminals, high-level gangsters and compromised politicians. And with French cinema taking the world by storm, the man at the dark heart of it all is an enigmatic film star dubbed ‘the most beautiful man in the world’.
With a shady past and a taste for bad company, Alain Delon lives on the edge. But when a dead body turns up in the outskirts of Paris that turns out to be his associate, Stevan, questions begin to be asked. That Delon shot to stardom playing the stylish and murderous Tom Ripley does not go unnoticed. Is art imitating life or is life imitating art? And who killed Stevan Marković?
