The Typewriter and the Guillotine An American Journalist, a German Serial Killer, and Paris on the Eve of WWII

The "irresistible" (Susan Orlean) untold story of a trailblazing Paris correspondent forThe New Yorker, who sounded the alarm about the rise of fascism in Europe while becoming enmeshed in the sensational case of a German serial killer stalking the streets of the French capital on the eve of WWII.
In 1925, the Indianapolis-born Janet Flanner took an assignment to write a regular 'Letter from Paris' for a lighthearted humor magazine calledThe New Yorker. She'd come to Paris to with dreams of writing about "Beauty with a Capital B." Her employer, self-consciously apolitical, sought only breezy reports on French art and culture. But as she woke to the frightening signs of rising extremism, economic turmoil, and widespread discontent in Europe, Flanner ignored her editor's directives, reinventing herself, her assignment, andThe New Yorkerin the process.
The Typewriter and The Guillotineoffers the personal and professional coming-of-age story of an indomitable journalist set against a glamorous, high-stakes backdrop-a tightly-coiled drama full of romance and intrigue.
