Book: Kingdom of Shadows

November 26th, 2008 · No Comments

Kingdom of Shadows, book cover After this summer’s revelation, I picked up another Alan Furst novel, Kingdom of Shadows. The story almost matches the cover for noir. Paris again serves as the hub, but most of the action takes place in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Germany. Nice page-turner in dangerous pre-World War II Europe, where the inevitability of war made fatalism all too common.

(Again, lousy website!)
