Paris 1942.
Twin sisters, Camille and Marie Bardet, have been 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, merely carrying messages isn't enough and Jean proposes a new, more dangerous assignment that will change the sisters’ lives forever.

Meanwhile the Wehrmacht’s top spy catcher in France, Major Hugo Spreicher, must stamp out the resistance, outmanoeuvre 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.

The Last Murder in Paris envelopes you in the secrets and lies of occupied Paris, where trusting others is as necessary as it is dangerous. Perfect for fans of Robert Harris, Jane Thynne and Mick Herron.

Critic reviews

Dann McDorman's gem of a novel strips wartime Paris down to its bare nerve. Following a German spy catcher hollowing out his own position from the inside and two sisters pulled into clandestine work that could cost them everything, The Last Murder in Paris is a thrilling page-turner about the narrow, terrible space where survival and morals collide. McDorman writes people cornered by history and lets us watch them choose (Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept)
A wonderful, slow-burn tale of espionage in wartime Paris, loaded with memorably complex characters, and as richly atmospheric as vintage Alan Furst (Dan Fesperman, author of Pariah)
