Set in the underworld of Paris in 1941. Reluctant spy Jean Casson returns to occupied Paris under a new identity.

Yet as the war drags on, he finds himself drawn back into the dangerous world of resistance and sabotage.

About this title

Review:

Nothing can be like watching Casablanca for the first time, but Furst comes closer than anyone has in years.
Time
What the espionage novels of John le Carre were for the Cold War, those of Alan Furst have become for the period that might be called the Sable Decade. ...Furst may have no peer in his ability to re-create the atmosphere of the nether world of continental Europe during the war years.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Red Gold transports a reader back to a cowed Paris, darkened by the menacing ambience of World War II.
