Description

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.

Advance Praise

"From this edgy premise, Pryor spins a tale increasingly complex...The identity of [the] murderer is perhaps the least surprising of the many twists and turns this tale of love, hate, and misophonia has on offer. Wheels within wheels power this homage to battles waged without and within." ―Kirkus Reviews

"Pryor has constructed a compelling wartime mystery, and he's made 1940 Paris a vividly real place." —Booklist

“Atmospheric and engaging . . . it chills and thrills in equal measure.” ―Susan Elia MacNeal, New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series
