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.
