Mission to Paris by Alan Furst

5.0

Another excellent novel by Alan Furst. If you are looking for more Bourne adventures, keep looking - this isn't it. Furst specializes in stories about "ordinary" people in extraordinary circumstances. His novels remind of the explanation given by Alfred Hitchcock on the tension in his movies. Mr. Hitchcock said (paraphrasing him badly, I'm afraid) that having the viewer be aware of the bomb under the table was much more effective at making a tension-filled story than simply having the bomb blow up. I think Mr. Furst would agree.
