COMING MARCH 23, 2027
“A wonderful, slow-burn tale of espionage in wartime Paris, loaded with memorably complex characters, and as richly atmospheric as vintage Alan Furst.”
—Dan Fesperman, author of Pariah
There are plenty of novels about occupied Paris during the Second World War, but few as riveting, moving, and surprising as THE LAST MURDER IN PARIS. What makes it such a brilliant novel, however, is the deeply human moral ambiguities of the French and the Germans, the women and men of the resistance and the Nazis hunting them down. There are rascals and rogues, spies and saboteurs, and all of their encounters are rendered with the sort of gripping authenticity that – and this is rare, I promise – led me to devour this novel in but 24 hours.”
—Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Amateur and The Flight Attendant
“Dann McDorman's gem of a novel strips wartime Paris down to its bare nerve... a thrilling page-turner about the narrow, terrible space where survival and morals collide. McDorman writes people cornered by history and lets us watch them choose.”
—Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept
