“You deserve the Nobel Prize for medicine at the very least,” said Le Goënec and kissed her passionately. “But I think I came a bit too quickly.”
“Don’t worry about that,” murmured Florence, happy that her darling cop didn’t think only of his own pleasure. “I came, too, but in a different way. It was something I’ve never felt before—a kind of contentment of my whole being at having given you pleasure.”
Le Goënec’s heart skipped a beat, and he held Florence tightly.

Robert Morcet was born on September 27, 1949, in Saint-Ouen, near Paris. Sentenced to fifteen years in prison for bank robberies—and respected for ultimately being a good person by both convicted criminals and cops—he paid for his past mistakes.
His first book, Tendre voyou (Gentle Thug), published in 1987, was a very successful autobiography.
His Anti-Crime Brigade series (titled Le Celte in France) spans forty-seven titles and has been popular since 1998.
