The French Connection
World's Most Crucial Narcotics Investigation
The French Connection is a heart-stopping account of an extraordinary narcotics case told as it actually happened. The story is spread over many suspense-filled months and involves plush Manhattan night clubs, dark tenements in Brooklyn and the Bronx, tree-lined suburbs on the upper East Side, Paris, Marseilles and Palermo. The case involves both American and French criminals, including Jean Jehan, director of the world's largest heroin network, and Jacques Angelvin, a famous French television star.
