500    "A Christopher Marlowe Cobb thriller." 
520    In the new Christopher Marlowe Cobb thriller, Robert Olen 
       Butler's intrepid newspaperman-turned-spy tracks a German 
       saboteur through the streets of the Great War-dimmed City 
       of Lights With Paris in the Dark, Pulitzer Prize winner 
       Robert Olen Butler returns to his lauded Christopher 
       Marlowe Cobb series and proves once again that he can 
       craft a ripping good yarn (Wall Street Journal) with 
       unmistakably literary underpinnings. Autumn 1915. World 
       War I is raging across Europe but Woodrow Wilson has kept 
       Americans out of the trenches-though that hasn't stopped 
       young men and women from crossing the Atlantic to 
       volunteer at the front. Christopher Kit Cobb, a Chicago 
       reporter with a second job as undercover agent for the 
       U.S. government, is officially in Paris doing a story on 
       American ambulance drivers, but his intelligence handler, 
       James Polk Trask, soon broadens his mission. City-dwelling
       civilians are meeting death by dynamite in a new string of
       bombings, and the German-speaking Kit seems just the man 
       to figure out who is behind them-possibly a German 
       operative who has snuck in with the waves of refugees 
       coming in from the provinces and across the border in 
       Belgium. But there are elements in this pursuit that will 
       test Kit Cobb, in all his roles, to the very limits of his
       principles, wits, and talents for survival. Fleetly 
       plotted but engaging with political and cultural issues 
       that deeply resonate today, Paris in the Dark is this 
       series' best novel yet
