Alan Furst’s new spy novel
In The Spies of Warsaw, author Alan Furst — who The New York Times heralds as “America’s preeminent spy novelist” — follows Col. Jean-Francois Mercier, France’s new military attaché in Warsaw as he and his countrymen battle Germany in a war of espionage. Furst’s other books include Night Soldiers, The Polish Officer, Dark Voyage and The Foreign Correspondent.
Two books coming next Tuesday: Hell’s Gate by Richard Grabble (The Alienist and Paradise Alley), a novel set against the 1904 General Slocum ferry disaster; and China’s First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors by Frances Wood, which provides a detailed look at the famed emperor, one of the most important figures in Chinese history.
