Question about Alan Furst's "Night Soldiers" books in Crime, Thriller & Mystery (januari 2017)

Besprekingen

Een Russische spion krijgt in 1939 van de Britse geheime dienst opdracht mee te werken aan de sabotage van olietransporten van Roemenië naar Duitsland.

Het boek voor 1/3 gelezen. Het verhaal komt niet van de grond, veel sfeer-beschrijvingen maar geen duidelijke plot.
