Robert Olen Butler‘s novel is set in Paris in 1915. Kit is an American journalist in Paris to seemingly write about the American volunteer ambulance drivers. He also carries out various assignments for American intelligence. Robert Olen Butler provides a very realistic and atmospheric Paris of the period and smoothly, builds the tension to the final showdown in the Paris catacombs. Great historical fiction and I loved it.

Robert Olen Butler made meticulous research sound fun. And his stories about Paris and Vietnam were fascinating. I bought his book set in Paris (and got it signed) and my friend got his book set in Vietnam. #DBF2018

Historical spy novel with all the twists and turns you would expect from Robert Olen Butler. I enjoy Christopher Marlowe Cobb, Butler's journalist cum spy, who melts into his spy role seamlessly. The historical setup takes a little longer to get started, but otherwise these do have the dark spy craft feel of LaCarre. #netgalley #netgalleyTBRattack
