He's working for them. Because when a German trader is the next to die, the authorities decide it's innocent civilians who will pay the price - unless Eddie can find the killer in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs hunger grows, tensions rise and a fierce rebellion brews, Eddie will tread a dark path between doing whatever it takes to live with the enemy... and also with himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*****PRAISE FOR CHRIS LLOYD'S OCCUPATION SERIES:'Ranks alongside Alan Furst and Philip Kerr ... Powerful stuff' SUNDAY TIMES 'A thoughtful, haunting thriller' MICK HERRON 'Such a powerful and morally nuanced crime novel. Both a gripping murder mystery and a vivid recreation of Paris under German Occupation' ANDREW TAYLOR 'It's up there with luminaries such as Philip Kerr, Sebastian Faulks and Manda Scott - in fact, it's probably better than all of those' DAVID YOUNG 'A haunting and eye-opening portrayal of life under occupation' ADELE PARKS 'Lloyd does a masterly job of conjuring a hungry, defeated Paris. Eddie is a convincing protagonist; a flawed man trying his best to be a good one' THE TIMES\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55340681625975,"sku":"9781409190370","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781409190370.jpg?v=1750426477","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781409190370","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
