L'homme de Rio

Adrien witnesses the kidnapping of Agnès, his fiancée. This follows the disappearance of an Amazon statuette and the ethnologist who brought it over from Brazil-who also happens to be Agnès' tutor. Setting off in pursuit of the kidnappers, Adrien secretly boards a plane heading for... Rio de Janeiro.
