About this ebook
Mark Pryor's Die Around Sundown is the first entry in an exciting mystery series set in Paris during World War II, where a detective is forced to solve a murder while protecting his own secrets.
Summer 1940: In German-occupied Paris, Inspector Henri Lefort has been given just five days to solve the murder of a German major that took place in the Louvre Museum. Blocked from the crime scene but given a list of suspects, Henri encounters a group of artists, including Pablo Picasso, who know more than they're willing to share.
With the clock ticking, Henri must uncover a web of lies while overcoming impossible odds to save his own life and prove his loyalty to his country. Will he rise to the task or become another tragic story of a tragic time?
Five days. One murder. A masterpiece of a mystery.

1940, Paris, occupied-France, law-enforcement, murder, murder-investigation, misdirection, secrets, lies, veterans, friendship, historical-novel, historical-places-events, historical-research, historical-figures, history-and-culture, integrity***** Great read! A solid murder investigation while under duress from the occupiers of France. This is the same enemy that the people of France (with help from Allies) defeated in the 1914 war, back again and even more vile. The diligence is meticulous even though the detective is being told who to name and is under personal threat. Several historical personages make meaningful appearances in the story and there is a convoluted story within a story. The publisher's blurb is a sneaky hook but effective. Don't miss this one! I requested and received a free e-book copy from St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
