ROBERT HARRIS'S BESTSELLING NOVEL SET IN AN ALTERNATIVE WORLD WHERE HITLER HAS WON THE SECOND WORLD WAR

Fatherland is set in an alternative world where Hitler has won the Second World War. It is April 1964 and one week before Hitler's 75th birthday. Xavier March, a detective of the Kriminalpolizei, is called out to investigate the discovery of a dead body in a lake near Berlin's most prestigious suburb. As March discovers the identity of the body, he uncovers signs of a conspiracy that could go to the very top of the German Reich. And, with the Gestapo just one step behind, March, together with an American journalist, is caught up in a race to discover and reveal the truth - a truth that has already killed, a truth that could topple governments, a truth that will change history-

Praise for Fatherland

The research is extraordinary.

Victoria Hislop 'My Six Best Books', Daily Express

Ingenious... fast-paced and beautifully written

Esquire

A fantastic thriller... The final solution is an utter surprise. Harris reaches it with speed, conveying a whole culture of grotesquery and kitsch

Mail on Sunday

Tightly constructed... grips as tightly as a Nazi's glove

Independent on Sunday

Gripping in the way John Buchan, Len Deighton and John LeCarré are. The writing is superb. This novel lifts its author into a new and superior class

The Times

Robert Harris has recreated the whole structure of a totally corrupt society in a way that makes the flesh creep

Sunday Times

A writer who handles suspense like a literary Alfred Hitchcock

Guardian

Clever and ingenious... Its breeding is by Orwell, out of P. D. James, a detective story inside a future shock

Daily Mail

Powerful and chilling... convincing in every detail

Daily Telegraph

The highest form of thriller... non-stop excitement

The Times
