Description
Book SynopsisThe sequel to THE WORLD AT NIGHT featuring Jean Casson - 'Casson could become a cult figure - reluctant spy, utterly disreputable' THE TIMES
Trade Review'This is the kind of literate and erudite writing we have come to expect from Alan Furst, who gives us an object lesson in how a quiet, beautifully written spy thriller can be just as gripping as anything in which bombs and bullets fly...excellent.' - Guardian
'[Furst's] stories combine keen deductive precision with much deeper, more turbulent and impassioned aspects of character; Mr. Furst is an incomparable expert at this game.' - New York Times
'Furst's tales...are infused with the melancholy romanticism of Casablanca, and also a touch of Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon.' - Scotsman
'Throughout, the author's delight in the process of espionage shines through.' - TLS
