A Hero in France by Alan Furst
The alternative le Carre: Alan Furst returns with his most commercial novel to date, a nail-biting spy story set against the French Resistance. It was Top 20 in hardback.
Once again, Furst succeeds in turning human history into tense, humane - and in parts surprisingly sexy - drama * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
a more more-ish read than the vast majority of more meaty, formula-driven thrillers * SUNDAY TIMES *
When the theme is espionage during the dark days of wartime Europe, Alan Furst is one of its elite novelists* THE TIMES *
Eloquently told, with Furst's customary mastery of both atmosphere and character - not to mention his delicate touch with tension - it is confirmation he is a writer without peer in the recreation of wartime espionage. * DAILY MAIL *
More tales of derring-do against the Nazis from the excellent Furst * THE SUN *
