Salonika, 1940. To the bustle of tavernas and the smell of hashish,
a secret war is taking shape. In the backrooms of barbers,
envelopes change hands, and in the Club de Salonique the air is
thick with whispers. Costa Zannis is the city's dashing chief
detective - a man with contacts high and low, in the Balkans and
beyond. And as unknown ships and British 'travel writers' trickle
through the port, he is a man very much in demand. Having helped
defeat Italy in the highlands of Macedonia, Zannis returns to a
city holding its breath. Mussolini's forces have retreated - for
now - but German sights are fixed firmly on the region. And as the
situation in Germany worsens, Zannis becomes involved in an
audacious plot - smuggling Jews to Istanbul, through the back door
of Europe. The British hear he can penetrate the continent's closed
borders, and soon Zannis is embroiled in the resistance, and in a
reckless love affair that could jeopardise everything. With a
remarkable cast of operatives, SPIES OF THE BALKANS is a brilliant
espionage novel from Alan Furst.
