Description
TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH: 'MAGNIFICENT'
FURST IS IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN - William Boyd
HIS ABILITY TO RECREATE THE TERRORS OF ESPIONAGE IS MATCHLESS - Robert Harris
Under Occupation is set in occupied Paris in 1942, a dark, treacherous city now ruled by the German security services, where French resistance networks are working secretly to defeat Hitler.
Just before he dies, a man being chased by the Gestapo hands off to Paul Ricard a strange looking drawing. It looks like a part for a military weapon; Ricard realises it must be an important document smuggled out of Germany to aid the resistance.
As Ricard is drawn deeper and deeper into the French resistance network, his increasingly dangerous assignments lead him to travel to Germany, along the underground safe houses of the resistance - all the way to the mysterious and beautiful Leila, a professional spy.
