Filmed with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Robert Hossein, "The Professional" has a never-ending intrigue and the aching notes of Enio Morricone's Che Mai are inextricably linked with the inspiration received from Patrick Alexander's only novel. This book cannot be classified simply as a spy novel or a political action novel. This is a book about the world of a Man in contact with the tenderness of a Woman, the jungle of politics, practicality and cynicism of the establishment.
