About the Book

The Reich will protect its secrets.  1942, Berlin. After Police Chief Investigator Rolf Schneider is summoned to a meeting with Himmler and tasked with investigating the assassination of Heydrich, he exposes a web of corruption and secrecy involving the highest-ranking figures in the Reich. Schneider is faced with an agonising dilemma, for the secret he discovers is both the only thing that can save his life and what will mark him down for certain death. His choice propels him into a desperate race against the clock, one in which he must travel to the very heart of darkness. Based around real World War II events. For fans of Philip Kerr, Robert Harris and Volker Kutscher.

About the Author :
David O’Donnell was born in Scotland. He is a qualified lawyer, and has both practised and taught law. He lives in rural Angus with his wife Fiona and black Labrador Niamh. When Niamh is not taking him for a walk, his passion is cooking French and Italian dishes.

Review :
'A very strong debut, weaving Schneider’s transformation from apolitical cop to anti-Nazi desperado through a gripping, paranoid narrative that embraces conspiracy at the highest levels of Nazi command, a secret deal with a foreign power and a nail-biting climax' '[a] pacy debut set in 1941 Berlin and based on real Second World War events ... Riveting' 'The author has clearly done his research and captures Nazi Germany well ... the narrative satisfyingly unfolds.  The story develops drawing in other contemporary events and the horror Schneider faces. We await with interest what Mr O’Donnell has to offer next' 'This atmospheric novel, based on real events, captures well the troubled times under the Nazi regime... promising and assured debut'
