Like most in the city, Detective Eddie Giral has already lost so much under Occupation: the people he once loved, the job he once believed in.      And his latest investigation into the murder of a black-marketeer has made it clearer than ever: Eddie is no longer just catching criminals. He's working for them. Because when a German trader is the next to die, the authorities decide it's innocent civilians who will pay the price - unless Eddie can find the killer in time.    As hunger grows, tensions rise and a fierce rebellion brews, Eddie will tread a dark path between doing whatever it takes to live with the enemy... and also with himself.    *****    PRAISE FOR CHRIS LLOYD'S OCCUPATION SERIES:    'Ranks alongside Alan Furst and Philip Kerr ... Powerful stuff' SUNDAY TIMES      'A thoughtful, haunting thriller' MICK HERRON      'Such a powerful and morally nuanced crime novel. Both a gripping murder mystery and a vivid recreation of Paris under German Occupation' ANDREW TAYLOR      'It's up there with luminaries such as Philip Kerr, Sebastian Faulks and Manda Scott - in fact, it's probably better than all of those' DAVID YOUNG      'A haunting and eye-opening portrayal of life under occupation' ADELE PARKS      'Lloyd does a masterly job of conjuring a hungry, defeated Paris. Eddie is a convincing protagonist; a flawed man trying his best to be a good one' THE TIMES","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67689397649562,"sku":"9781409190370","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9781409190370-us-300.jpg?v=1791371455","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781409190370-banquet-of-beggars-from-the-winner-of-the-hwa-gold-crown-for-best","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
