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 French embassy's military attache. 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 attache, Colonel Jean- Francois Mercier, a decorated hero of the 1914 war, is drawn in to 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.

'[Furst's] stories combine keen deductive precision with much deeper, more turbulent and impassioned aspects of character... Mr. Furst... is an incomparable expert at this game.' NEW YORK TIMES 'Alan Furst's spy fiction is serious, even solemn: a good but never light read.' -- Jessica Mann LITERARY REVIEW 'Furst's tales... are infused with the melancholy romanticism of Casablanca, and also a touch of Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon.' THE SCOTSMAN 'Furst's latest excellent spy thriller... so elegant and genteel - beautfully written... your heart will be pounding with tension.' THE GUARDIAN 'Throughout, the author's delight in the process of espionage shines through' TLS 'Furst's uncanny gift for place and period lift his city, and its dubious cast of characters, well above the espionage norm.' -- Boyd Tonkin THE INDEPENDENT 'As ever the atmosphere is charged and the writing elliptic' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Furst's writing is so effortless, it nearly disappears.' TIME OUT 'Furst's research is such that one gets the impression that he hasn't just travelled, he has time-travelled.' -- James Lovegrove FINANCIAL TIMES 'alongside... is a love story that is told in such a lyrical fashion that it bcomes enthralling... I would recommend this novel without reservation.' -- Vincent Banville IRISH TIMES
