Historical and Wartime Thrillers

Thrillers where the setting does as much work as the plot. Occupied cities, resistance networks, prisoner of war escapes and the long uneasy years afterwards. The stakes are usually real ones, which gives these a weight the contemporary thrillers do not always reach for. Every book was loved by someone else first and photographed exactly as it is, so what you see in the listing is what arrives on your doorstep.
