A compelling, atmospheric page-turner
*Steve Cavanagh*
Gripping and compelling . . . balances immersive historical
scene-setting with masterful plotting
*Dan Jones*
A superb thriller with all the elements that make for a seriously
gripping story - an outsider hero in jeopardy, a world of brooding
danger, and an entirely, terrifyingly believable denouement
*Owen Matthews*
A chilling and accomplished historical thriller
*Vaseem Khan*
An absolute stone-cold page-turner
*S. G. MacLean*
'Scarrow's second World War Two thriller is a tense and fast-paced
tale rich in period atmosphere'
*The Sun*
The moral ambiguity gives it a very especial edge. It is a tense,
fast-moving story with plenty of action, culminating in a vividly
described shoot-out
*Historical Novel Review*
Scarrow has alighted on an aspect of Nazi policy that certainly
deserves to be better known
*The Times*
