The SAS saga | M6 | 66 minutes

Gérard de Villiers, creator and writer of the famous SAS saga, who died in October 2013, leaves behind him a tangled estate. Copyright to the works, ownership of Gérard de Villiers publishing, property in Paris and Saint Tropez, etc., but also colossal debts. The steamy novelist was at the head of a small empire, the achievement of a whole lifetime, but there’s also his Achilles heel: it seems that women are even more trouble for him today than they ever were. Four wives, two children, alimony, debts… Who should he leave his fortune to? His last companion and his last wife are ripping Gérard De Villiers’ estate and his last wishes apart. Because, just a few weeks before he died, Gérard de Villiers, lying on his hospital bed, is said to have changed, with a trembling hand, his heirs. Goodbye to his last wife, goodbye to his last companion: it’s thought that the novelist’s daughter will inherit the copyright to his work… Bad news indeed for his final companions. And there is another cloud hovering over the scene: they say that the novelist had been robbed, in his very own apartment on the avenue Foch, of personal possessions, such as his wine cellar and jewelry… Disappearances that Christine de Villiers, his last wife, finds intolerable and she is suing the novelist’s family and his lawyer. Clan warfare, family break up, threats and theft… Skullduggery in the SAS saga.
