Welcome to Litsy!

�Sharp eyed and sharp mouthed police detective�* Henri Lefort, is determined to solve homicides and uncover any German conspiracies threatening France�in Mark Pryor�s newest World War II mystery, The Dark Edge of Night. Winter 1940: With soldiers parading down the Avenue des Champs-�lys�es, Nazi flags dangling from the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower defaced with German propaganda, Parisians have little to celebrate as Christmas approaches. Police Inspector Henri Lefort�s wishes for a quiet holiday season are dashed when the Gestapo orders him to investigate the disappearance of Dr. Viktor Brandt, a neurologist involved in a secret project at one of Paris�s hospitals. Being forced onto a missing persons case for the enemy doesn�t deter Henri from conducting his real job. A Frenchman has been beaten to death in what appears to be a botched burglary, and catching a killer is more important than locating a wayward scientist. But when Henri learns that the victim�s brother is a doctor who worked at the same hospital as the missing German, his investigation takes a disturbing turn. Uncovering a relationship between the two men�one that would not be tolerated by the Third Reich�Henri must tread carefully. And when he discovers that Dr. Brandt�s experimental work is connected to groups of children being taken from orphanages, Henri risks bringing the wrath of both the SS and the Gestapo upon himself and everyone he loves. *New York Times bestselling author Cara Black
