MIDNIGHT IN EUROPE by Alan Furst - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Alan Furst.
Paris, 1938. As the shadow of war darkens Europe, democratic forces on
the Continent struggle against fascism and communism, while in Spain the
war has already begun. Alan Furst, whom Vince Flynn has called “the
most talented espionage novelist of our generation,” now gives us a
taut, suspenseful, romantic, and richly rendered novel of spies and
secret operatives in Paris and New York, in Warsaw and Odessa, on the
eve of World War II.
Cristián Ferrar, a brilliant and handsome Spanish émigré, is a lawyer
in the Paris office of a prestigious international law firm. Ferrar is
approached by the embassy of the Spanish Republic and asked to help a
clandestine agency trying desperately to supply weapons to the
Republic’s beleaguered army—an effort that puts his life at risk in the
battle against fascism.
Joining Ferrar in this mission is a group of unlikely men and women:
idealists and gangsters, arms traders and aristocrats and spies. From
shady Paris nightclubs to white-shoe New York law firms, from brothels
in Istanbul to the dockyards of Poland, Ferrar and his allies battle the
secret agents of Hitler and Franco. And what allies they are: there’s
Max de Lyon, a former arms merchant now hunted by the Gestapo; the
Marquesa Maria Cristina, a beautiful aristocrat with a taste for danger;
and the Macedonian Stavros, who grew up “fighting Bulgarian bandits.
After that, being a gangster was easy.” Then there is Eileen Moore, the
American woman Ferrar could never forget.
In Midnight in Europe, Alan Furst paints a spellbinding portrait
of a continent marching into a nightmare—and the heroes and heroines
who fought back against the darkness.
