Alan Furst Books

When it comes to spy novels, no one is more erudite or elegant than Alan Furst (b. 1941). His novels — all set in the European theater of World War II — are rich with both historical fact and brilliantly imagined circumstances. His best-known books include Midnight in Europe, Mission to Paris, and many other bestsellers. Born in New York, he lived for many years in Paris and now lives on Long Island.
