A Hero in France

Let Alan Furst take you on a journey through the cobbled streets and smoky salons of wartime Europe as the continent stands on the brink...

Spring 1941. Britain is losing the war.

But the fighters of the French Resistance are determined not to give up.

Thrilling, seductive and heart-poundingly tense, A Hero in France is a story of courage against the odds, set during one of the most intriguing periods of recent history.
