"Paris. Autumn, 1941. In a shabby hotel off the place Clichy, the course of the French resistance is about to change. German tanks are rolling toward Moscow. Stalin has issued a decree: all partisan operatives are to strike behind enemy lines - from Kiev to Brittany."--BOOK JACKET.
"Set in the back streets of Paris and deep in occupied France, Red Gold moves with quiet and pervasive menace as predators from the dark edge of the war - arms dealers, lawyers, spies, and assassins - emerge from the shadows of the Parisian underworld."--BOOK JACKET.
"In their midst is Jean Casson, once a producer of gangster films, now living on a few francs a day and hunted by the Gestapo. As the German occupation tightens, Casson is drawn into an ill-fated mission: running guns to combat units of the French Communist party. Their NKVD contact, a former Comintern operative named Weiss - his seventeenth name - begins to orchestrate a series of attacks against the Germans. Reprisals are brutal. Fear spreads through the city.
At last the real resistance has begun."--BOOK JACKET.

"Casson woke in a room in a cheap hotel and smoked his last cigarette."
Work Description
Set in the underworld of Paris in 1941. Reluctant spy Jean Casson returns to occupied Paris under a new identity. He is wanted by the Gestapo therefore must stay away from the civilised circles he knew as a film producer and learn to survive in the shadowy backstreets and cheap hotels of Pigalle. Yet as the war drags on, he finds himself drawn back into the dangerous world of resistance and sabotage.
