Title : The Blue Bicycle - Volume 10 - And When Will the End of the Journey Come - 1964-1967 - Régine Deforges - Book
Summary :
In 1966, General de Gaulle, the French head of state, entrusted François Tavernier with a mission as secret as it was delicate: to travel to Bolivia, where Klaus Barbie, the Nazi war criminal, had taken refuge. There, with the support of Dominique Ponchardier, the French ambassador to La Paz, he would have to secure the extradition of Jean Moulin's torturer. Failing that, he would still have the option of kidnapping him; or even eliminating him...
Barely having disembarked, Tavernier finds himself facing the open hostility of the German exiles: attempts on his life are multiplying. Fortunately, Léa, who has joined him in La Paz, courageously supports him in this merciless struggle. Launched on the trail of Barbie and his family, François and Léa take us through a magnificent country, shaken as it is by the guerrilla war then being waged there by Ernesto Guevara.
After the Frenchman Régis Debray, it is also to the cause of Che that Charles, Léa's adopted son, secretly rallies; he throws himself into it with all the energy of his youth, mixing the Tavernier saga with the upheavals of South American history in the sixties: Che's great revolutionary dream, his desperate fight and his tragic end then parade before us.
After having gone through so many trials, survived the German Occupation, the turmoil of French Indochina and then Algeria, Léa and François find themselves once again caught up in the whirlwind of History. This time, however, it will be adorned with dire colors for them...
Thus ends the cycle of novels begun by The Blue Bicycle .
