NIGHT FLIGHT TO PARIS
Pacy, characterful World War II thriller from a master of cliff-hanger suspense
February, 1943. Quiet Englishman and maths teacher turned codebreaker Harry Mitchell is recruited from Bletchley Park for a dangerous mission in occupied Paris: to locate and extract a compromised wireless operator.
But Mitchell has his own motive for taking the mission. The wife and daughter he left behind in Paris have fallen into the hands of the Gestapo.
As he searches for his family, Mitchell must navigate the treacheries and betrayals of war. Conviction and courage will only take him so far.
A brilliant new standalone for David Gilman's many fans, exploring a different time period, but with all the hallmarks of suspense, characterisation and page-turning pleasure that his readers have come to expect.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
David Gilman was a soldier before becoming an award-winning screenwriter and full-time author. He also writes youth fiction and is the author of the bestselling MASTER OF WAR series, staring archer-turned-knight Sir Thomas Blackstone. The striking historical standalone THE LAST HORSEMAN (UKexCan Head of Zeus;
Germany Rowohlt) was shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Prize 2017, and described by The Times as gripping and full of action, but is also smart and subtle about questions of loyalty and guilt in a war with few good guys.'
