Description
Paris, 1938. Democratic forces are locked in struggle as the shadow of war edges over Europe.
Cristian Ferrar, a handsome Spanish lawyer in Paris, is approached to help a clandestine agency supply weapons to beleaguered Republican forces. He agrees, putting his life on the line.
Joining Ferrar in his mission is an unlikely group of allies: idealists and gangsters, arms dealers, aristocrats, and spies. From libertine nightclubs in Paris to shady bars by the docks in Gdansk, Furst paints a spell-binding portrait of a continent marching into a nightmare – and the heroes and heroines who fought back.
Midnight in Europe vividly captures the tension and intrigue of a world on the brink of war, offering readers a thrilling journey through a tumultuous time in history.
