The Spy in the City of Books by Stephen O’Connor

The past has caught up with Martin LeBris. During World War II, he
served the Office of Strategic Services as a spy and saboteur in Lyon,
France. Nearly sixty years later, Lowell cop Gerry O’Neil is trying to
unravel the mystery of why an assassin is stalking LeBris. The answer to
that question lies buried in the dark days of Nazi Occupation, and in
the unforgiving memory of The Spy in the City of Books.

Beautifully written with lots of OSS/Resistance detail. The characters have
breath, movement, and originality. You will suffer with them and triumph
with them. And if you’re like me, you will wish for a sequel as soon as the
last page is read. An unforgettable debut novel.
