Oooh, I love that series! I haven't read the final one yet, but as soon as the library gets it or its out in paperback, I plan to pounce.

I don't know if this author has been mentioned here, but Alan Furst has been my latest discovery. He writes wonderful dark, brooding stories about espionage in some of the lesser known European countries during WWII. Lots of stuff about underground resistance and attempts to get Jews and others out before too late.

Furst carefully researches his books and writes as if he had been right there - a part of the action.

The two novels I have read so far are The Spies of Warsaw and Spies of the Balkans. 5 *****
