Synopsis: This international bestseller from the author of A Year in the Merde &“combines the gaffes of Bridget Jones with the boldness of James Bond&” (Publishers Weekly). When the glorious oceanographer Gloria Monday convinces Paul West to travel to the swank beaches of southern France—where she&’s investigating caviar-smuggling cartels—he assumes he&’s about to have the time of his life. But for West, France has always been full of surprises underfoot, and this trip is no exception to the rule. He&’s soon dragged into an undercover investigation that goes all the way to the top and leaves him feeling sometimes like James Bond, sometimes like Inspector Clouseau. Dial M for Merde is a comic caper that pokes fun at French society at every level, from pompous politicians to grumpy waitstaff.
