Saint-Tropez

Background

Ivan Kharkov and his family were visiting the city when the Office began its operation against him. Mikhail Abramov feigned an affair with Elena Kharkov to allow Gabriel Allon an opportunity to defect. Later, with the assistance of French officials, Gabriel's team took his children, Nicolai and Anna, away to be with their mother, Elena Kharkov.

Ivan Kharkov was visiting the city when Gabriel Allon killed him.
