Spies of the Balkans by Alan Furst

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Remnant mark on tail foredge. Interior and binding are very good.

The action takes place in the countryside of Macedonia, around the time of the British SIS inspired coup there in April of 1941, and then in Greece, especially Salonika, during the invasion itself. It is a multi-spy novel, involving Turkish, Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian operatives, with a double hero, a principal and a strong secondary character. The latter is a senior police official in Salonika, involved in resistance as the Germans and Italians occupy the country. (publisher blurb)
