Book talk & signing with the bestselling master espionage writer
From the bestselling master espionage writer, hailed by Vince Flynn as the best in the business, comes a riveting novel about the French Resistance in Nazi-occupied Paris. Paris, 1941. The City of Light, occupied by the Nazis, is dark and silent at night. Streetlamps are painted blue and apartment windows shuttered in the blackout ordered by the Germans. But when the clouds part, the moonlight defies authority, and so does a leader of the French Resistance, known as Mathieu.
Shot through with the author’s trademark fine writing, breathtaking suspense, and intense scenes of seduction and passion, Alan Furst’s A Hero of France is at once one of the finest novels written about the French Resistance and the most gripping novel yet by the living master of the spy thriller.
