The Spies of the Balkans by Alan Furst, Review There is no more intelligent or gripping writer of spy fiction today than Alan Furst, says Michael Korda, and his new novel captures Europe in. The British hear he can penetrate the continent's closed borders, and soon Zannis is embroiled in the resistance, and in a reckless love affair that could jeopardise everything.
And as the situation in Germany worsens, Zannis becomes involved in an audacious plot - smuggling Jews to Istanbul, through the back door of Europe.
Mussolini's forces have retreated - for now - but German sights are fixed firmly on the region. Having helped defeat Italy in the highlands of Macedonia, Zannis returns to a city holding its breath. And as unknown ships and British 'travel writers' trickle through the port, he is a man very much in demand. In the backrooms of barbers, envelopes change hands, and in the Club de Salonique the air is thick with whispers.Ĭosta Zannis is the city's dashing chief detective - a man with contacts high and low, in the Balkans and beyond. To the bustle of tavernas and the smell of hashish, a secret war is taking shape.
