About Three Hours In Paris
Product Description In June of 1940, when Paris fell to the Nazis, Hitler spent a total of three hours in the City of Light—abruptly leaving, never to return. To this day, no one knows why. Kate Rees, a young American markswoman, has been recruited by British intelligence to drop into Paris with a dangerous assignment: assassinate the Führer. Wrecked by grief after a Luftwaffe bombing killed her husband and infant daughter, she is armed with a rifle, a vendetta, and a fierce resolve. But other than rushed and rudimentary instruction, she has no formal spy training. Thrust into the red-hot center of the war, a country girl from rural Oregon finds herself holding the fate of the world in her hands. When Kate misses her mark and the plan unravels, Kate is on the run for her life—all the time wrestling with the suspicion that the whole operation was a set-up. New York Times bestselling author Cara Black is at her best as she brings Occupation-era France to vivid life in this masterful, pulse-pounding story about one young woman with the temerity—and drive—to take on Hitler himself. *Features an illustrated map of 1940s Paris as full color endpapers. Amazon.com Review Cara Black’s Three Hours in Paris is a highly entertaining historical thriller of espionage and political double-dealing set in the unique atmosphere of Paris during the Nazi occupation. It’s 1940, and Kate Rees is an American living with her husband and young daughter in the U.K. When tragedy strikes, the war becomes personal for this former ranch girl from Oregon, and Kate—a champion markswoman—is recruited by the British government for a clandestine mission in Paris: assassinate Hitler. With revenge on her mind, Kate is dropped into the City of Light to carry out her assignment, but things go awry and she’s suddenly on her own and on the run. A cat-and-mouse chase ensues over the next 36 hours as Kate tries to get out of the country before she’s caught by Gunter Hoffman, a methodical former policeman tasked by Hitler himself to find the would-be assassin. Black’s thriller gives readers a delightful fictional answer to the mystery of Hitler’s real-life three-hour visit to Paris in June 1940 that ended abruptly for reasons still unknown. Three Hours in Paris is an exciting page-turner that will be particularly enjoyable for readers who appreciate a heroine who defies all odds and expectations. —Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review Review A National BestsellerA Wall Street Journal Best Mystery of 2020A Washington Post Best Thriller and Mystery Book of 2020A Seattle Times Best Crime Novel of 2020Finalist for the 2020 Dashiell Hammett Prize for Literary ExcellenceAn ABA Indie Next Pick for April 2020An Amazon Best of the Month Pick for April 2020A Barnes and Noble Monthly Pick for April 2021Praise for Three Hours in Paris “Heart-racing . . . Three Hours in Paris isn’t just any old formulaic 'Get out!' tale. It’s mystery master Cara Black’s first standalone novel, a spy story set during World War II in Occupied Paris. The premise is that an American female sharpshooter is parachuted into France to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Of course, she fails. Using wits alone, she must evade the Gestapo and make it back across the English Channel. Chances of success? Slim to none. Chances that you’ll be able to put Black’s thriller down once you’ve picked it up? Also slim to none.” —Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post “Beyond Black’s encyclopedic knowledge of Paris, her deft interweaving of WWII history and spycraft with a relatable female protagonist puts Three Hours in Paris on par with other top thrillers about botched missions followed by harrowing escapes—such masterworks as Frederick Forsyth’s The Day of the Jackal, Jack Higgins’ The Eagle Has Landed and Tom Clancy’s Patriot Games.” —Paula Woods, The Los Angeles Times “Ms. Black (also the author of a long-running series of detective novels featuring Parisian investigator Aimée Leduc) excels at setting viv
