'One of the funniest, most riotously inventive and enjoyable novels
you'll read this year' - Observer Roland Barthes is knocked down in
a Paris street by a laundry van. It's February 1980 and he has just
come from lunch with Francois Mitterrand. Barthes dies soon
afterwards. History tells us it was an accident. But what if it
were an assassination? What if Barthes was carrying a document of
unbelievable, global importance? A document explaining the seventh
function of language - an idea so powerful it gives whoever masters
it the ability to convince anyone, in any situation, to do
anything. Police Captain Jacques Bayard and his reluctant
accomplice Simon Herzog set off on a chase that takes them from the
corridors of power to backstreet saunas and midnight meetings. What
they discover is a worldwide conspiracy involving the President,
murderous Bulgarians and a secret international debating society.
