Often compared to Graham Greene and Eric Ambler, Alan Furst is a master of the spy thriller and one of the finest war novelists of our time. Published to outstanding acclaim, his novels brilliantly recreate the atmosphere and tension of the worlds of espionage and resistance in the Europe of the 1930s and the Second World War. After many years living in France and traveling as a journalist in Russia and Eastern Europe, Furst now resides in Sag Harbor, New York.

From the Back Cover:
“A rich, deeply moving novel of suspense that is equal parts espionage thriller, European history and love story.”
—The New York Times
“Compelling...An excellent novel of history, betrayal and, most important, survival...While the story offers enough twists and turns to satisfy the most ardent spy fan, author Alan Furst transcends genre. This is a novel with heart.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“This is a rich book, to be savored...for it is a work of an accomplished writer without obtrusively saying so on every other page. Furst has the instincts of the historian—he likes to get his sequences right, he tells a story straight, and he believes that setting matters—and the gifts of the storyteller.”
—The Boston Globe
