Kingdom Of Shadows

Kingdom Of Shadows

by Alan Furst (Author)

Synopsis

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' -- Robert Harris 'Nothing can be like watching Casablanca for the first time, but Furst comes closer than anyone has in years' -- Time
