Spellbinding multi-layered crime novel set in Poland during the Nazi occupation.
Controversially, the hero, Captain Martin Bora, is an aristocratic German officer in the Wehrmacht. With echos of Claus von Stauffenberg, he is torn between his duty as an officer and his integrity as a human being. Fascinating discussion of ethical and religious dilemmas in times of war
Will appeal to fans of Phillip Kerr (Bernie Gunther series), Alan Furst (“Spies of the Balkans”) and Bernhard Schlink’s “The Reader”.
It should benefit from the current vogue for WWII in fiction, film and tv. “Valkyrie”, “Inglourious Basterds”, “Pacific”.
First of a series of five to be published by Bitter Lemon Press.
