Need help remembering an author. Action, Indiana Jones meets Dirk Pitt. Had foil cover.

[Binthe920]

I'm looking for an author. I think he was French. Only had 3 books out in mid 2000. All 3 had very flashy foil covers, tall and narrow, about 800 pages. They were spy type action books, I think one was about Panama? I'm sorry, but I read these back then and forgot about him, hoping he wrote some more. It was like Dirk Pitt, Jason Bourne, and Indiana Jones with a touch of James Bond. Add the technical detail of Tom Clancy.

Any ideas please?

Thank you,
Brad

Firstly there is a section for finding books / authors

http://www.bookandreader.com/boards/book-search-suggestions.38/

so you know for next time

secondly it doesn't ring any bells unless you are thinking of John Le Carré

"The Tailor of Panama" would have been one of the books.

He wrote much more than three books though.

There is a thread about him here:

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. Could a mod please move it for me?

I just recalled these 3 reads and have exhausted my search so I went looking for a forum to help me find him.

Actually, I believe all 3 had metal flake covers. Almost holographic, large flake glitter, done in one primary color with a rainbow reflection effect. There where other colors in the cover picture, but the majority of the cover was done in this sparkly finish that was blue for one book, green for another, and I believe the 3rd was red. There can't be many books of this genre with covers like that. They were such good books, I can't believe nobody would know what books I'm talking about!

And it may not be a French author, but I think there where French special forces in the book? I don't know, something keeps making me think French lol, but there might not be anything French about it?!?
