The Spies of Warsaw by Alan Furst

This novel is about the spies and diplomats that risk everything to gather information about Germany before hitler unleashes his forces on Europe.

On the brink of a worldwide conflagration, Warsaw abounds with intrigue as international operatives play the ultimate game of cloak and dagger. Into this deadly mix wade a Polish military intelligence officer, a German doctor, a French lawyer for the League of Nations, Russian secret service agents, and a host of other mysterious figures. In this high stakes environment, sleight of hand and betrayal are simply tools of the trade but when an unexpected love affair blooms, all the old rules go out the window and anything is possible.

This is a good book about the world of spies and how their work is used. If your looking for an interesting spy book, then check this out.

I think that Alan Furst is a terrific author. I don't think I've read this one (my memory fails me at times), but I've read about 5 or 6 of them. Thanks for the review! You have great taste.
