In occupied Paris, architect Lucien Bernard clings to his work, his pride, and the illusion that he can stay untouched by the war pressing in on every street. When he is offered a lucrative commission to design a hiding place for a Jewish client, he agrees out of ambition rather than conviction. The challenge of outsmarting German officers appeals to his ego, even as the risks circle closer.
But one success leads to another, and Lucien becomes an unexpected protector, creating sanctuaries disguised within the city’s elegant walls. When a hideout fails with devastating consequences, the war forces its way into his life in ways he can no longer ignore.
A New York Times bestseller, The Paris Architect is a gripping story of conscience, resistance, and the ordinary man who chooses to do what is right.
