'Mission to Paris' by Alan Furst

Release date: June 12, 2012

Why to throw it in your beach bag: Furst is one of the best spy novelists in the game, and the plot of "Mission to Paris" is the stuff that devour-it-all-in-one-reading dreams are made of: A Hollywood star who travels to Paris for a film shoot in 1938 is targeted by the Nazis -- but also recruited to join an informal spy network working against the Third Reich.
