Episode Description

After writing the bestselling memoir A Waiter in Paris, Edward Chisholm is back with a much different kind of tale. He joins the show to talk about the fascinating story behind his latest book, 'Murder in Paris 68,' which explores the dark intersections of crime (the Markovic Affair), new wave cinema, and politics in 1960s France. Was superstar Alain Delon involved in one man's demise? Discover how Chisholm unraveled a complex web of lies, history, and culture to bring this true crime story to life.
