spies of warsaw

Mercier has escaped the shadowy world of spies unscathed, but at what cost? Holed up in his family estate, it is only a matter of time before his past life catches up with him. When it does, he decides to get back in the fold and do what he can to help Poland and France before the inevitable war that creeps closer each day. While preparing for one of the most dangerous missions of his life his thoughts drift regretfully back to Anna, estranged and far away. If only things had been different, they might have been happy. But in Mercier's world, nothing is ever entirely as it seems.

About Spies of Warsaw:

David Tennant and Janet Montgomery star in this adaptation of Alan Furst's celebrated spy novel set in Poland, Paris and Berlin in the years leading up to the Second World War.

At the french embassy in Warsaw, the new military attache, Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier, is drawn into a world of abduction, betrayal and intrigue in the diplomatic salons and back alleys of the city.

At the same time, the handsome aristocrat is involved in a passionate love affair with a Parisian woman of polish heritage, a lawyer for the league of nations.

Risking his life, Mercier works in the shadows amid a remarkable cast of characters, some known to him as spies, some never to be revealed.

It is a city where people drink and fight and spy and love, because no one knows what tomorrow will bring.
