The Foreign Correspondent: A Novel

The Foreign Correspondent - Alan Furst A very strong 3 stars. Furst love this period. It shows. In the details of the places he sets his characters in, in the way the reader almost effortlessly walks along side Weisz. From the terrain of the ending Spanish war to the émigré scene of Paris with its spies, secret police to Berlin for the signing of the Pact of Steel to the fall of the Czech. It's all really well done. One tiny thing, the plot isn't as fantastic as the set up. But it's really a tiny thing.
