Kingdom of Shadows by Alan Furst. Nicholas Morath, our hero, take the night train to Budapest where he visits the Arizona night club. It's kind of a wild place.
From a story in the Independent:
Around the corner in the magnificent green-tiled building at Nagymezo utca 20 you come to the Hungarian House of Photography. The first-floor shop displays the depth of Hungary's photographic tradition (think of Kertesz, Brassai and Moholy-Nagy) and the temporary exhibitions are usually worth a look. Before the Second World War, the building housed the Arizona Club, which wowed Patrick Leigh Fermor when he visited. But in 1944 The Arizona's owners were killed in the Holocaust – a reminder that the wartime ghetto was not far away on the other side of Andrassy ut.
The Chain Bridge connects Buda & Pest and is not far from the
Hungarian House of Photography / Arizona Night Club.
