Pigeons of Paris [on hold]

Prologue

NOTE FROM AUTHOR: the story reads better if you read the dialogues in a French accent!

If you are a great traveller as I am, Susanne Biggins – travel writer cum historian cum novelist, you will have visited all of the great cities: New York, London, Rome and many others. If you have you must have realised they all have one thing in common. Come on, take a guess. Well, it’s pigeons. Flocks and flocks of them. Although you may not realise it, all pigeons are different but, there is one type of pigeon which is really special. The pigeons of Paris. No, they do not drink posh wine and strut around with Louis Vuitton bags, after all they are still pigeons. They have a certain sophistication and elegance and, for some reason, they always seem to have the most amazing adventures. And one such pigeon in particular seems to be more amazing than the rest of them.
