"McDorman's knowledge is abundant, as is his cleverness." --The New York Times Book Review

Paris, 1942. The German occupation. The Wehrmacht's top spy catcher in France, Major Hugo Spreicher, is busy trying to stamp out the resistance, outmaneuver 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 begin to unravel.

Paris, 1942. The French underground. Twin sisters, Camille and Marie Bardet, are recruited to join a resistance group codenamed DANTE by a mysterious figure operating under the nom de guerre Jean. After a series of bombings sparks a vicious German reprisal, Jean proposes a new, more dangerous assignment that will change the sisters' lives forever.

The Last Murder in Paris is a Hitchcockian novel of suspense that brilliantly illuminates the complicated reality of ordinary people acting in extraordinary circumstances.
