This was my first Allan Furst book. Like his other novels, it is character driven rather than plot driven. He resembles John LeCarre in that way. This one grabbed me because it captures better than anything else I've read what it must have been like to be a Parisian during the German occupation. People just trying to get by while struggling with their feelings that they should be helping with the resistance. The ending caught me by complete surprise and left a hollow feeling in my stomach. I certainly enjoyed and highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be introduced to Furst's work.
