Set in Paris, London and on the banks of the River Cher in the royal heart of France, Roth is a contemporary thriller based on real events that took place in 19th century Paris when the obsessive need that still drives rich philatelic collectors to acquire the specimens they want at any cost, led one French collector to murder another for an 1851 two cent Hawaiian Missionary stamp.
Victor Roth, a criminal intelligence officer at Interpol, knows that when you chase a successful forger you're chasing a ghost. Roth is an analyst and leaves the legwork to the real police, not only because he hates working in the field, but the chances of finding a successful forger are just about nil. When Roth is brought in to advise on an English counterfeiting case, he has no illusions that this time the outcome will be any different.
The case spreads its tendrils to Paris where Roth works and enjoys a life of privilege among the powerful and influential in the French government, diplomatic circles and rich collectors of the things that make Roth's world go round: very rare stamps, the kind that can sell for millions of dollars.
Roth is well aware that although philately is known as the hobby of kings, it's not considered a sexy look to be a philatelist. But Victor, a man of culture, wealth and rock and roll good looks, had defied the odds. No-one he met would dare to lump him in with philately's less than sexy image.
Philately is not only Roth's specialty, it's his passion and when a specimen of the rare two cent Hawaiian Missionary goes up for auction he suspects the anonymous seller's motives. It all comes very close to home, and Victor is drawn out of the office and into the real world of high level organised crime, where not only the police are hunting the forger, but the bodies begin to accumulate and Roth himself becomes a target.
