Elephants vs Spies : The Extraordinary Adventures of Guy Verchères (PDF) Vincent Deroy

Elephants vs Spies

Another extraordinary adventure of the famous Guy Verchères, as told by his cousin: Paul Verchères.

Guy Verchères, the most elegant and cunning gentleman-burglar in Quebec, needs a break. What better way to disappear than to blend into the colorful chaos of a traveling circus? Using a false identity, he joins the B & B Circus as an assistant animal trainer… and quickly finds himself surrounded by elephants, tigers… and German spies!

From a train filled with escaped wild beasts to a daring car kidnapping, a wild chase with a stampeding herd of angry elephants, and the spectacular capture of five German submarines in the Baie des Chaleurs, Guy must use his legendary wit, cool head, and sharp sense of humor to outsmart an enemy espionage network during World War II.

Packed with pulse-pounding suspense, over-the-top action scenes, witty dialogue, and classic Quebecois humor, this vintage Canadian adventure novel whisks you from the Ritz-Carlton in Montreal to the shores of Gaspé and Percé Rock.
