VASEEM KHAN h2>
THE BRAND NEW NOVEL IN THE AWARD-WINNING OCCUPATION SERIES, FEATURING DETECTIVE EDDIE GIRAL
In Paris 1940, survival means sacrifice. 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 BANQUET OF BEGGARS:

DAILY MAIL

ALIS HAWKINS
'A book that takes us into the heart of Occupied Paris ... A stunning achievement'
DOUGLAS SKELTON
'A terrific read set in an utterly convincing, sullen Occupied Paris'
A. D. BERGIN

S. G. MACLEAN

*****
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'
