About this title: In another of Alan Furst's immensely popular World War II mysteries, Jean Casson (hero of THE WORLD AT NIGHT) returns to Nazi-occupied Paris in the fall of 1941 and checks into a seedy hotel. He's down on his luck, depressed, and bored: like the city he loves, he has lost his joie de vivre. Joining an undercover unit, he becomes involved in an operation that's running guns to the French resistance in an attempt to subvert the Vichy government.

"This is the second novel which features the former film producer Julian Casson, now living with false papers in occupied Paris, who is drawn into gun-running for the Communist led resistance. The Hitler/Stalin pact is over and the new communist resistance and the established resistance organisations are forging alliances in the total absence of trust on both sides. This is a tense and dramatic story, bleak in it's certainty that the fates of individuals count for very little in time of war. Everyone is expendable."
"This book started out slow, picked up a little in the middle, then ended with a fizzle. It wasn't bad enough to stop reading midway, but there are plenty of other espionage thrillers out there that are a lot more thrilling."
