L'homme des sables

Description

Louis de Saulieu vit seul à Obock, loin de la ville de Djibouti, capitale de la Côte française des Somalis, méprisé par ses compatriotes à cause de son commerce douteux et de sa vie solitaire. Mais la jeune et belle Andrée va découvrir que Louis cache un héroïsme inattendu derrière ses actions suspectes. En réalité, il travaille en mission secrète pour le bien de l'empire français. Comment Louis va-t-il garantir la sécurisation de la colonie face aux tentatives de déstabilisation menées par les rivaux de la France dans le "grand jeu" impérial ?
