I haven't read it myself, but when I researched the title in NoveList, the book seemed a perfect fit for Roger, who loves stories awash in intricate details and complex storylines.
Here is what Booklist had to say:
"A detailed account of the meticulous plans for assassination of a political figure and the equally meticulous search for the assassin when the authorities are alerted to the fact that a very special assassination plan is underway. The political figure is DeGaulle; the time, shortly after the withdrawal of France from Algeria; the instigators, the dissident French OAS; the assassin, an Englishman, master marksman and master at change of identity; and the chief counteragent, an unassuming little police detective called in by the French security. Starting slowly, the narrative builds to breathtaking suspense." (September 15, 1971)
