Three Hours in Paris

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.
The New York Times bestselling author of the Aimée Leduc investigations reimagines history in a masterful,
pulse-pounding spy thriller.
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 redhot 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, she is on
the run for her life—all the time wrestling with the suspicion that the whole operation was a set-up.
Cara Black, doyenne of the Parisian crime novel, is at her best as she brings Occupation-era France to vivid life in
this gripping story about one young woman with the temerity—and drive—to take on Hitler himself.
