The war stops for nothing. If you are in the French Resistance, there is no time for grieving or second-guessing or regret — that is what they say. But how do you listen to what your head is telling you when you are living with such a damaged soul?Alex Kovacs has been smuggled into Limoges after a botched attempt to rescue him and his wife from the Gestapo by flying them out of France.

In Limoges and the surrounding area, he finds himself confronted not only by the German occupiers of the country but by different Resistance groups with different loyalties and perspectives — some followers of de Gaulle, some Communists, all with an agenda. Struggling with his emotions, and with these competing Resistance groups — all of which have one eye on who will take charge once the war is over — Alex becomes involved in sabotage missions, assassinations and revenge, all of which test his own moral foundation.The Limoges Dilemma is the fourth book in the Alex Kovacs historical espionage thriller series.

He is a reluctant spy at first, but as the crisis builds on the continent and as the Nazi steamroller gains momentum, we watch him forced to move from country to country and experience with him as his life evolves and his commitment grows, from courier to espionage agent to Resistance fighter.Three-quarters of the reviews have been 5-stars.

The characters are likable, the story is paced well and there's the right amount of suspense.”“He really knows his stuff.”“I love this author! Compelling story line with great writing. His writing is clever but not pretentious. Characters are interesting and yet realistic. Not over done.”“Richard Wake's Alex Kovacs thrillers are among the most intelligent and entertaining in this genre. I've been a fan of Alan Furst and Phillip Kerr for years, and am happy to have discovered Wake's brilliant new books.”“Having read Wake's first three books nearly non stop I say without reservation he is without doubt one of the top three finest new writers to be published in the last decade. He has a unique writing ability to make one feel they are living the characters own experiences and feeling their emotions, beliefs and ambitions.”Buy this collection and get started on a great new thriller series!
