Between jazz and espionage, music and silence, begins the story of Alex Veresov - a trombonist in the French Foreign Legion's orchestra, who hides a secret mission behind the rhythm of rehearsals and the smoke of the Riviera nights.
What appears as a concert tour turns out to be a covert hunt - an international operation targeting exiled oligarchs who once ruled and betrayed their nations. Under the sun of the Côte d'Azur, in the casinos of Monte Carlo and the quiet villas of Antibes, justice arrives not in courtrooms but with precision - and with a signature tool known only by one name: The Ice Axe.
When Veresov receives a mysterious key engraved with the Spasskaya Tower, he steps into a labyrinth of intelligence, art, and vengeance - where every note played may become a signal, and every silence may conceal a death.
Ice Axe for the Oligarch. The French Overture is the opening movement of a powerful trilogy that blends spy intrigue, political drama, and the melancholy beauty of music.
It is a story about the ghosts of power, the art of disguise, and the thin line between loyalty and survival.
Written in elegant, cinematic prose, Vladimir Sher-Lumière paints a world where jazz meets intelligence operations, and every melody hides a message.
