Banquet of Beggars: From the Winner of the HWA Gold Crown for Best Historical Fiction

THE BRAND NEW NOVEL IN THE AWARD-WINNING OCCUPATION SERIES, FEATURING DETECTIVE EDDIE GIRAL

In Paris 1940, survival means sacrifice. Like most in the city, Detective Eddie Giral has already lost so much under Occupation: the people he once loved, the job he once believed in.

And his latest investigation into the murder of a black-marketeer has made it clearer than ever: Eddie is no longer just catching criminals. He's working for them.

Because when a German trader is the next to die, the authorities decide it's innocent civilians who will pay the price - unless Eddie can find the killer in time.

As hunger grows, tensions rise and a fierce rebellion brews, Eddie will tread a dark path between doing whatever it takes to live with the enemy... and also with himself.

*****


PRAISE FOR CHRIS LLOYD'S OCCUPATION SERIES:

'Ranks alongside Alan Furst and Philip Kerr ... Powerful stuff' SUNDAY TIMES

'A thoughtful, haunting thriller' MICK HERRON

'Such a powerful and morally nuanced crime novel.

Both a gripping murder mystery and a vivid recreation of Paris under German Occupation' ANDREW TAYLOR

'It's up there with luminaries such as Philip Kerr, Sebastian Faulks and Manda Scott - in fact, it's probably better than all of those' DAVID YOUNG

'A haunting and eye-opening portrayal of life under occupation' ADELE PARKS

'Lloyd does a masterly job of conjuring a hungry, defeated Paris. Eddie is a convincing protagonist; a flawed man trying his best to be a good one' THE TIMES
