Book summaryIn 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. In the process, he meets Helene Schreiber, who has problems of her own, and who is determined not to fall for Casson. But things on all fronts rapidly get out of control....
