Praise for Night Flight To Paris

Nominated for the 2024 Lefty Award for Best Historical Mystery Novel

“Split-second timing, last-minute pivots, life-or-death decisions—all dial up the tension . . . Black provides plenty of local color and emotional turns, but it’s her book’s breakneck action that most excites.”
—Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal

“In stripped-down prose, Black brings the invaded city sharply to life as Kate tries to navigate ground that is always shifting beneath her… Kate’s motivation is simple and powerful: straight-up revenge for the deaths of her husband and child in a German bombing. Staying alive—and ridding the world of at least one more Nazi—is her aim in this sustained adrenaline rush of a thriller.”
–Lisa Henricksson, Air Mail

“Stirring . . . Kate is a heroine for the ages.”
—Publishers Weekly

Praise for Three Hours in Paris

A National Bestseller
A Wall Street Journal Best Mystery of the Year
A Washington Post Best Thriller and Mystery Book of the Year
A Seattle Times Best Crime Novel of the Year

“Heart-racing . . . Chances that you’ll be able to put Black’s thriller down once you’ve picked it up? . . . Slim to none.”
—The Washington Post

“Beyond Black’s encyclopedic knowledge of Paris, her deft interweaving of WWII history and spycraft with a relatable female protagonist puts Three Hours in Paris on par with other top thrillers about botched missions followed by harrowing escapes.”
—Paula Woods, Los Angeles Times

“Black . . . excels at setting vivid scenes, creating lively characters and maintaining pulse-elevating suspense. Three Hours in Paris, with its timetable structure and its hunt for a covert operative, recalls such comparable works as Frederick Forsyth’s The Day of the Jackal and Ken Follett’s Eye of the Needle.”
—The Wall Street Journal

“Heart-stopping.”
—The Seattle Times
