Flammen & Citronen

Gangland Chicago transplanted to occupied Copenhagen, 1944: That's right, we're in thriller heaven. We've got what appears to be the entire Danish resistance (all twelve of them) operating under supposed orders from British Intelligence to assassinate key Danish collaborators and Nazi officials, all of whom claim to be double agents when least convenient for our faltering would-be assassins. Matters slightly complicated by the fact that the Brits do not recognize the existence of a "German resistance". Need I mention the inscrutable femme fatale? Trenchcoats and Thompson guns shepherd black market munitions through daylight street bombings and running board getaways; substitute bootleg and the corner pub haunts and country safehouses of drizzly Zealand make kissing cousins to Capone's drizzly Chicagoland.

Make a point to see this.
