On a cool October evening in 1937, German engineer and secret agent Herr Edvard Uhl arrives in Warsaw. He suppresses a chill of fear. Tonight, he will be with his mistress; tomorrow, he will be at a bar, where he will meet with a French military attache. Information will be exchanged for money.
War is coming to Europe. And although bombs and bullets have yet to fly, French and German operatives are already caught in a deadly espionage battle. In a war of intelligence and subterfuge, no spy can help being drawn into the murky world of abduction, betrayal and intrigue.
Alan Furst is widely recognised as the master of the historical spy novel. Now translated into eighteen languages he is the author of novels including MISSION TO PARIS SPIES OF THE BALKANS - a TV Book Club choice - THE SPIES OF WARSAW which became a BBC mini-series starring David Tennant and THE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT.
Born in New York he lived for many years in Paris and travelled as a journalist in Eastern Europe and Russia. He has written extensively for Esquire and the International Herald Tribune. He now lives in Long Island.
