Summary
The author of West Heart Kill returns with an original, gripping, and atmospheric novel of moral complexity set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Paris in World War II
“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.

Critic reviews
“There are plenty of novels about occupied Paris during the Second World War, but few as riveting, moving, and surprising as The Last Murder in Paris. What makes it such a brilliant novel, however, is the deeply human moral ambiguities of the French and the Germans, the women and men of the resistance and the Nazis hunting them down. There are rascals and rogues, spies and saboteurs, and all of their encounters are rendered with the sort of gripping authenticity that – and this is rare, I promise – led me to devour this novel in but 24 hours.”
—Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Amateur and The Flight Attendant
“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.”
