Description
The Foreign Correspondent by Alan Furst is set against the backdrop of war-torn Europe in 1939. A murder/suicide at a lovers' hotel sparks a chain of events that draws together a group of anti-fascists, including a foreign correspondent, an army officer, and a resistance leader. As Carlo Weisz returns to Paris after reporting on the Spanish civil war, he becomes embroiled in a desperate game of cat and mouse with the French Surete, agents of Mussolini's secret police, and officers of the British Secret Intelligence Service. Weisz must navigate this treacherous landscape while also uncovering the truth behind the murder/suicide. In the midst of this turmoil, Weisz finds himself drawn to a woman involved in a resistance underground in Berlin, at the heart of Hitler's Nazi empire. As the stakes grow higher, Weisz and his allies must fight for survival against those who seek to silence them.
