Dann McDorman
When twins Camille and Marie Bardet are recruited to join the resistance by a mysterious figure under the nom de guerre Jean, their eyes are opened to another Paris; a world of forgers, bomb makers, wireless operators and field agents. After a series of bombings sparks a vicious German reprisal, merely carrying messages isn't enough and ‘Jean’ proposes a new, more dangerous assignment that will change the sisters’ lives forever.
On the German side, the Wehrmacht’s top spy catcher in France Major Hugo Spreicher, must stamp out the resistance, outmanoeuvre his rivals in the Gestapo and skim enough profit from the occupation to ensure a comfortable retirement – or an escape plan. But after a chance meeting with a stranger on Bastille Day, Spreicher’s careful schemes will begin to unravel.
In a city where war blasts apart old ties and forges new bonds, everyone must choose who they dare to trust. But, more importantly, they must also decide who they dare to betray.
The Last Murder in Paris envelopes you in the secrets and lies of occupied Paris, where trusting others is as necessary as it is dangerous. Perfect for fans of Robert Harris, Jane Thynne and Mick Herron.

Reviews
There are plenty of novels about occupied Paris during the Second World War, but few as riveting, moving, and surprising as The Last Murder in Paris. What makes it such a brilliant novel, however, is the deeply human moral ambiguities of the French and the Germans, the women and men of the resistance and the Nazis hunting them down. There are rascals and rogues, spies and saboteurs, and all of their encounters are rendered with the sort of gripping authenticity that – and this is rare, I promise – led me to devour this novel in but 24 hours (No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Amateur and The Flight Attendant)
Dann McDorman's gem of a novel strips wartime Paris down to its bare nerve. Following a German spy catcher hollowing out his own position from the inside and two sisters pulled into clandestine work that could cost them everything, The Last Murder in Paris is a thrilling page-turner about the narrow, terrible space where survival and morals collide. McDorman writes people cornered by history and lets us watch them choose (Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept)
A wonderful, slow-burn tale of espionage in wartime Paris, loaded with memorably complex characters, and as richly atmospheric as vintage Alan Furst (Dan Fesperman, author of Pariah)
