Publisher Description

From “America’s preeminent spy novelist” (The New York Times) comes a fast-paced, mesmerizing thriller of the French resistance fighters working secretly and bravely to defeat Hitler.
  
Occupied Paris, 1942. Just before he dies, a man being chased by the Gestapo hands off a strange-looking document to the unsuspecting novelist Paul Ricard. It looks like a blueprint of a part for a military weapon, one that might have important information for the Allied forces. Ricard realizes he must try to get the diagram into the hands of members of the resistance network. 
 
As Ricard finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into anti-Nazi efforts and increasingly dangerous espionage assignments, he travels to Germany and along the escape routes of underground resistance safe houses to spy on Nazi maneuvers. When he meets the mysterious and beautiful Leila, a professional spy, they begin to work together to get crucial information out of France and into the hands of the Allied forces in London.

Under Occupation

As an avid Furst reader, I found this book a disappointment. Seemed pretty much phoned in.

A GREAT BOOK...

THIS BOOK TAKES YOU INTO THE LIFE OF PARIS DURING THE WAR. THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE STREETS, THE APARTMENTS, THE VISITS TO THE COUNTRY ARE SO LOVINGLY PRESENTED THAT YOU ARE THERE!

Disappointed

Having read all of Furst's work, some twice, this latest is a major disappointment. Characters are one-dimensional, lack depth, vignettes stretch all credulity, the reader is asked to accept coincidence after coincidence. Save your time and reread an earlier piece.
