Abstract
ABSTRACT This article is concerned with the links between intelligence professionals and spy novelists in France. It focuses on the prolific, popular pulp writer Gérard de Villiers, and his numerous links with intelligence services. The prominence and significance of these are often overshadowed by his racist and misogynistic writing, and the trashy quality of his books. This article documents the multifaceted relationships between Gérard de Villiers and the covert world, from long-lasting friendships between top intelligence officials and the writer, to de Villiers’ personal involvement in intelligence work as an honorable correspondant, for the SDECE and the DGSE.
