Opis

Aikido Au Revoir is the 5th novel of the Aikido Mystery Series with Sensei Parker. He is in France on the Cote d'Azur teaching a pair of Aikido seminars. Hey, it's tough work, but someone has to do it, right? Why not Parker? He is a master of the art. And besides, his old girlfriend Kara runs the place, crazy as she is. Everything is great: the bread, the cheese, the wines, the blue, blue Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful French women who daily bask beside it... everything is great until someone breaks into the dojo and steals the only thing there worth a plug nickel, the kakemono on the shrine. But why would someone steal a little scroll with 'aikido' written on it? It doesn't make any sense. Kara begs Parker to help find the missing scroll. He agrees to look, at least, and is off... except he doesn't have a car, doesn't speak the language, or have the slightest idea where to start. But Parker knows people. And so he begins to unravel the mystery - perhaps the most interesting and profound mystery he's ever been involved with - and along the way encounters anthropologists with amazing secrets, beautiful actresses and their Hollywood entourages, roulette at Monte Carlo, dangerous Japanese gangsters, unscrupulous antique dealers, and even more beautiful women. And the next day he... Well, it's a classic Aikido Mystery after all, and textbook Parker Sensei. Enjoy the ride.
