The Spies Of Warsaw
The thrilling new spy novel from Alan Furst. 'In the world of espionage thrillers, Alan Furst is in a class of his own' William Boyd
The Foreign Correspondent (November 2006) has sold over 40,000 copies in hardback and paperback to date. Alan Furst's profile and popularity has increased dramatically over the past year, with a large increase in sales, as well as more popular UK press coverage, most notably a feature in the December issue of Vanity Fair magazine, which included other high-profile authors such as Henry Porter and P.D. James. THE SPIES OF WARSAW is Alan Furst's finest novel to date - the history is precise, the writing evocative and powerful More a novel about spies than a spy novel - exciting, atmospheric, erotic and impossible to put down. Published in the stylish new cover look.

Description
An Autumn evening in 1937. A German engineer arrives at the Warsaw railway station. Tonight, he will be with his Polish mistress; tomorrow, at a workers' bar in the city's factory district, he will meet with the military attaché from the French embassy. Information will be exchanged for money.
So begins The Spies Of Warsaw, with war coming to Europe and French and German operatives locked in a life-and-death struggle on the espionage battlefield. At the French embassy, the new military attaché, Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier, a decorated hero of the 1914 war, is drawn into a world of abduction, betrayal and intrigue in the diplomatic salons and back alleys of Warsaw. At the same time, the handsome aristocrat finds himself in a passionate love affair with a Parisian woman of Polish heritage, a lawyer for the League of Nations.

The Spies Of Warsaw by Alan Furst is a serious and solemn piece of spy fiction that is both compelling and complex. The author's expertise in the craft of espionage is highlighted by his keen deductive precision and deep character development. With an evocative atmosphere reminiscent of Casablanca and touches of Arthur Koestler's style, Furst's work is both romantic and insightful, capturing the nuances of espionage with a palpable passion.
