Saigon

"Little Paris" where love-talk is wire-tapped and each caress can lead to sudden mayhem.

Claire La Farge, a widow of a French intelligence officer, who lives in a large rice and tea plantation in North Vietnam receives a coded message from a former associate of her husband. She sends her trusted servant, Saito, to Saigon to place an advert in the personal column of the Times of Vietnam hoping to contact former colleagues of her late husband. Raoul Dupre, a former French intelligence officer and businessman in Saigon, reads the ad and makes contact with AXE. Nick Carter is sent to Saigon with orders to help Raoul Dupre contact Claire La Farge.
