    The New York Times calls Alan Furst “America’s preeminent spy novelist” and “an incomparable expert at his game.” He is the bestselling author of more than 10 historical thrillers, which have been translated into 17 languages. His milieu is the world of European intelligence services during the 1930s and 40s, and his books are admired for their attention to period detail, evocative atmosphere, and compelling plot. His novels include Night Soldiers, Dark Star, The Polish Officer, The World at Night, Red Gold, Kingdom of Shadows, Blood of Victory, Dark Voyage, The Foreign Correspondent, and The Spies of Warsaw. His latest book follows Costa Zannis, a senior police officer serving in Greece just before the Nazi occupation, as he becomes involved with spies who have invaded the country.
