Synopsis
Paris, 1940. The civilized, upper-class life of film producer Jean Casson ends with the German occupation of Paris. Out of money, almost out of luck, he attempts to work with a German film company, but is drawn into the dark world of espionage and double agents. More used to evading jealous husbands than the secret police, Casson becomes a most reluctant spy - torn between honour, patriotism, love and survival.

Review
Alan Furst has written three excellent thrillers set in unexpected corners of World War II: Dark Star, Night Soldiers and The Polish Officer. Now he continues his exploration of courage under fire with this haunting story of a film producer caught inside Nazi-occupied France, and what he has to do not only to survive but also to come out with his personal ideas of honor intact.
From the Publisher
'Furst is a master ... There is unlikely to be a more engrossing read this year. Just wonderful.' - BRIAN CASE, TIME OUT
'Casson is one of the best-drawn characters in recent fiction. The World at Night is a brilliant piece of atmospheric writing.' - HARTLAND, DAILY TELEGRAPH
'A wonderfully evocative picture of wartime Paris and the moral maze of resistance that builds to a brilliant climax.' - PHILLIP KNIGHTLEY, MAIL ON SUNDAY
'Highly atmospheric ... Furst has an eye and an ear for the feel of the in occupied Europe. The sights, sounds and are all authentic. A minor masterpiece.' - PETER MILLAR, THE TIMES
'Furst's ability to recreate the terrors of espionage is matchless.' - ROBERT HARRIS, DAILY MAIL
'In the world of the espionage thriller Furst is in a class of his own.' - WILLIAM BOYD
