Inhaltsangabe

In this sequel to the acclaimed The World at Night, reluctant spy Jean Casson returns in another haunting and atmospheric thriller set in the shadows of occupied Paris. In The World at Night, Alan Furst introduced film producer Jean Casson, who is forced by the German occupation of Paris to abandon his civilised lifestyle and falls into the world of espionage and double agents -- until he is forced to flee the country. In Red Gold, Jean Casson returns to Paris under a new identity. As a fugitive from the Gestapo, he must somehow struggle to survive in the shadows and backstreets. He is determined to stay clear of trouble, yet, as the war drags on, Casson begins, inevitably, to drift back into the dangerous world of resistance and sabotage.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alan Furst, who has often been compared to Graham Greene and Eric Ambler, is widely recognised as a master of the atmospheric spy thriller. It was a journalistic assignment, for Esquire magazine, that inspired him to write Night Soldiers, the first of his highly original novels about espionage in eastern and western Europe before and during World War II. Born in New York, he has lived for long periods in France, especially in Paris. 'Ideally complex, intelligent, hugely intriguing -- in the world of the espionage thriller Furst is in a class of his own.' william boyd 'Furst's ability to recreate the terrors of espionage is matchless.' robert harris
