Book Log 2018 #16: Blood of Victory by Alan Furst
As Hitler is on the march in Europe, a Russian journalist is approached by the British for help with a plan to slow (or stop) that march. The goal: deny the Germans the output of the Romanian oil fields. The journalist criss-crosses Europe in the attempt, eventually winding up in Yugoslavia with plans to disrupt the barges carrying oil intended for the Nazis.
It's a worthwhile installment of the Night Soldiers series, dishing up its usual mix of wartime espionage, moral ambiguity, and doomed romance.
