Monte Carlo's Secrets
By Jean-Luc Cebot
Cebot has lived, worked and played in Monaco for 20 years. A fixer of some of the most expensive and sought-after real estate on the planet, he is part of Monaco's glitter. It is much more than a casino, a redoubt for wealthy Americans on the run from Hollywood or a pitstop for the Formula 1 Grand Prix circus. Kallay takes you inside the principality, which is far more exotic and interesting than its tourist profile. Monaco has always been a magnet for playboys but behind the headlines is a hinterland of elegance, eccentricity and controversy that puts most fiction to shame. Cebot's book does just that and in so doing leaves the reader feeling like an honorary Monegasque.
