Title: Rough Trade
Description: "This fast-moving story takes the reader rapidly, in a single hectic month, along dark paths of sinister events in Le Sentier, the heart of Paris's rag trade. One spring morning a young Thai woman scarcely more than a girl is found dead in a fashion workshop. A case of another unlucky prostitute, or something more sinister? Then an erotic video club is exposed with a membership including some very distinguished men. The seedy underworld of Paris is revealed - the traffic in heroin, illegal immigrants without work permits, police officers' secret lives. A young Turk is a police informer and leader of exploited immigrant rag-trade workers - as well as Police Inspector Daquin's lover."--BOOK JACKET.
