Publisher's summary

From the bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say and The Warsaw Orphan, Kelly Rimmer—for fans of All the Light We Cannot See and The Tattooist of Auschwitz!

A “MOST ANTICIPATED TITLE” by

  • Harper's Bazaar
  • B&N Reads
  • BookBub
  • Goodreads
  • Fresh Fiction

"The author’s research has captured the tension that those who lived through that time experienced at deep levels. Kelly Rimmer’s scenes in both eras are fraught with anxiety, urging the reader to keep turning the page, anxious to learn about each character’s experiences, right up to the very end." — New York Journal of Books

For fans of fast-paced historical thrillers like Our Woman in Moscow and The Rose Code, Kelly Rimmer’s dramatic new novel follows two female SOE operatives whose lives will be determined by a double agent in their midst.

Twenty-five years after the end of the war, Noah Ainsworth is still preoccupied with those perilous, exhilarating years as a British SOE operative in France. A head injury sustained on his final operation has caused frustrating gaps in his memory—in particular about the agent who saved his life during that mission gone wrong, whose real name he never knew, nor whether she even survived the war.

Moved by her father’s frustration, Noah’s daughter Charlotte begins a search for answers that resurrects the stories of Chloe and Fleur, the code names for two otherwise ordinary women whose lives intersect in 1943 when they’re called up by the SOE for deployment in France. Taking enormous risks to support the allied troops with very little information or resources, the women have no idea they’re at the mercy of a double agent among them who's causing chaos within the French circuits, whose efforts will affect the outcome of their lives…and the war.

But as Charlotte’s search for answers bears fruit, overlooked clues come to light about the identity of the double agent—with unsettling hints pointing close to home—and more shocking events are unearthed from the dangerous, dramatic last days of the war that lead to Chloe and Fleur’s eventual fates.

Can’t Stop Listening!

The Paris Agent does not disappoint. The story lures you in and doesn’t let go. And as always, Rimmer provides insight into parts of history that are often glossed over.

Another great book by Rimmer

My father joined WWII as a 17 year old.
Not a character in a book but a hero to me nevertheless! Just like the ones in this book.
This is a story of endurance, courage and yes, heroes fighting for freedom.
I once read a message on a wall telling me to never forget the past. This is another great story that remind us to fight cruelty and to stand firm for freedom.

Loved it!

I was drawn in quickly, and hated to put it down. A lot of characters to keep up with, but I enjoy this book.
