About This Item
London:Victor Gollancz, 2000 057506837X. Hardback. First edition. Ez-library with front end page removed. Otherwise VG/VG in milar protective covering. 274 pages. No inscriptions or annotations. Furst sets his characters in the pre-WWII espionage world. Fantastic detail and atmosphere of the rise of the Third Reich and its effect on Hungary. "Alan Furst's new novel brings alive one of the lesser known locales of the Second World War: Hungary, which managed against all odds to preserve its neutrality until 1944, after which it paid a terrible price for those uneasy years of peace. The novel's canvas ranges from Paris in the west to Russia in the east, and confirms Furst's standing as the leading contemporary novelist of espionage and war. "Furst's ability to recreate the terrors of espionage is matchless." .
