Reviews
"The Perfume Thief is an exceptional novel told in an extraordinary voice, a book about finding beauty at the most difficult times: in the walls of your room, inside your closets, and in those you love. It's also a hell of a yarn. What more could you want?" --Elizabeth McCracken, author of Bowlaway "For the perfume to work, the wearer has to believe what I tell them. And you, too, will believe every word from the unforgettable Clementine, the perfumer and thief who shares her breathtaking story with dazzling notes that seduce over time. Like the very best fragrances, this book lingers on all of your senses, continuing to enchant, long after the final page. A truly remarkable tale."-- Steven Rowley, author of Lily and the Octopus and The Editor "Oh, how I adored this book! In The Perfume Thief , Timothy Schaffert treats us to a wartime Paris with a sharply delicious difference. As the habitués of the city's late night demimonde perform an uneasy tango with the Nazi occupiers, we learn that resistance can take many forms, but it's never easy. This novel is beguiling, sumptuous, and gripping. And the writing is so gorgeous, it will slay you." --Alex George, author of The Paris Hours " The Perfume Thief is Schaffert's best novel yet... at once a lush, sometimes chilling work of WWII-era historical fiction and also a fanciful queer romp about outcasts and thieves, lepidopterists and lesbian perfume... [I]ntoxicating" --emily danforth, author of Plain Bad Heroines "This is a superb novel, enchanting and brutal in equal measure. This is historical fiction at its finest, vivid and beautifully rendered; and yet in their longing for a lost world, Schaffert's characters feel entirely contemporary to our present moment." --Emily St. John Mandel, author of The Glass Hotel "A hint of Moulin Rouge, a whiff of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale , a little spritz of Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief ... The Perfume Thief is a pulse-pounding thriller and a sensuous experience you'll want to savor." --Oprah Daily "The queer spy novel about WWII Paris that I never knew I needed and now could not possibly consider living without... Elegant and elegiac, a paean to the Old Paris, or perhaps a Paris That Never Was, The Perfume Thief is perfectly pitched by the publisher as 'A Gentleman in Moscow meets Moulin Rouge .'" --CrimeReads, "The Perfume Thief is an exceptional novel told in an extraordinary voice, a book about finding beauty at the most difficult times: in the walls of your room, inside your closets, and in those you love.

Synopsis
A stylish, sexy page-turner set in Paris on the eve of World War II, where Clementine, a queer American ex-pat and notorious thief, is drawn out of retirement and into one last scam when the Nazis invade. "A hint of Moulin Rouge , a whiff of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale , a little spritz of Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief ... The Perfume Thief is a pulse-pounding thriller and a sensuous experience you'll want to savor."- Oprah Daily " A superb novel ... This is historical fiction at its finest, vivid and beautifully rendered." -Emily St. John Mandel, author of The Sea of Tranquility Clementine is a seventy-two year-old reformed con artist with a penchant for impeccably tailored suits. Her life of crime has led her from the uber-wealthy perfume junkies of belle epoque Manhattan, to the scented butterflies of Costa Rica, to the spice markets of Marrakech, and finally the bordellos of Paris, where she settles down in 1930 and opens a shop bottling her favorite extracts for the ladies of the cabarets. Now it's 1941 and Clem's favorite haunt, Madame Boulette's, is crawling with Nazis, while Clem's people--the outsiders, the artists, and the hustlers who used to call it home--are disappearing. Clem's first instinct is to go to ground--it's a frigid Paris winter and she's too old to put up a fight. But when the cabaret's prize songbird, Zoe St. Angel, recruits Clem to steal the recipe book of a now-missing famous Parisian perfumer, she can't say no. Her mark is Oskar Voss, a Francophile Nazi bureaucrat, who wants the book and Clem's expertise to himself. Hoping to buy the time and trust she needs to pull off her scheme, Clem settles on a novel strategy- Telling Voss the truth about the life and loves she came to Paris to escape. Complete with romance, espionage, champagne towers, and haute couture, this full-tilt sensory experience is a dazzling portrait of the underground resistance of twentieth-century Paris and a passionate love letter to the power of beauty and community in the face of insidious hate., A Gentleman in Moscow meets Moulin Rouge in this stylish, sexy page-turner set in Paris on the eve of World War II, where Clementine, a queer American ex-pat and notorious thief, is drawn out of retirement and into one last scam when the Nazis invade .
