Based on the novel by Alan Furst, Spies Of Warsaw, the BBC America miniseries finds French and German intelligence operatives locked in a life-and-death struggle in the years leading up to the Second World War. This is a tale of espionage and pure intelligence. At the French embassy in Warsaw, the new military attaché, Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier (Tennant), a decorated hero of the 1913 war, is drawn into a world of abduction, betrayal, and intrigue in the diplomatic salons and back alleys of the city. At the same time, the handsome aristocrat finds himself in a passionate love affair with Anna (Montgomery), a Parisian lawyer for the League of Nations. Risking his life, Mercier works in the shadows amid a cast of characters, some known to him as spies, some never to be revealed. It is a city where people drink and fight and spy and love, because no one knows what tomorrow will bring. (Gary Reber)
