Belfoure, Charles
"A gripping page-turner...a riveting reminder of sacrifices made by history's most unlikely heroes." —Kristina McMorris, New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We Hide The unforgettable tale of a man who discovers that bravery can be built—one wall at a time. From New York Times bestselling author and architectural historian Charles Belfoure comes The Paris Architect, a gripping World War II thriller where ingenuity becomes resistance, and every secret room tells a story of courage. Paris, 1942. Lucien Bernard is ambitious and apolitical, focused on survival and professional prestige. But when he's commissioned to design an untraceable hiding place for a Jewish client, his architectural skill is weaponized against the Nazi regime. What begins as a well-paid challenge turns into a harrowing moral reckoning, with lives hanging on each design. With nail-biting tension and deep emotional resonance, The Paris Architect is a powerful testament to the quiet heroism of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
