“Some books you read. Others you live. They seep into your dreams and haunt your waking hours until eventually they seem the stuff of memory and experience. Such are the novels of Alan Furst, who uses the shadowy world of espionage to illuminate history and politics with immediacy.”
— Nancy Pate, Orlando Sentinel
“What gleams on the surface in Furst's books is his vivid, precise evocation of mood, time, place, a letter-perfect re-creation of the quotidian details of World War II Europe that wraps around us like the rich fug of a wartime railway station.”
— Time
“A rich, deeply moving novel of suspense that is equal parts espionage thriller, European history and love story.”
— Herbert Mitgang,The New York Times, about Dark Star
“the greatest living writer of espionage fiction.”
— The Houston Chronicle
“As close to heaven as popular fiction can get.”
— Los Angeles Times, about The Foreign Correspondent
“America's preeminent spy novelist.”
— The New York Times
