Newly promoted Detective Chief Inspector Kathy Kolla investigates a series of brutal murders on Hampstead Heath. Under intense pressure to find answers, she arrests the unlikely figure of Charles Pettigrew, a failing London publisher who lives alone on the edge of the Heath. Pettigrew's lawyer calls on recently retired David Brock for advice, and soon, unable to resist the pull of investigation, the old colleagues, Brock and Kolla, are at loggerheads.

Maitland is back!
Revisado: 05-13-20
The Promised Land is a return to Barry Maitland’s early novels with one plot twist after another with a final capper that you won’t have seen coming. Great fun!

Berlin, 1964. The Greater German Reich stretches from the Rhine to the Urals and keeps an uneasy peace with its nuclear rival, the United States. As the Fatherland prepares for a grand celebration honoring Adolf Hitler's 75th birthday and anticipates a conciliatory visit from US president Joseph Kennedy and ambassador Charles Lindbergh, 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.

A Tense and Exciting Detective Story
Revisado: 08-06-18
Fatherland is a noir detective novel set in an alternate 1964 in which Germany won the 2nd World War. Harris fleshes out this alternate world in a convincing and chilling way, giving the reader clues as to why Germany might have won the war. We glimpse a world in which the Cold War is between the U.S. and Germany, and in which Joseph Kennedy is President of the U.S. instead of his son, and in which Edward VIII did not abdicate, but rules a fascist Great Britain from which Winston Churchill was obliged to flee.
With Adolph Hitler's 75th birthday celebrations about to begin, detective Xavier March of the Berlin Kripo stumbles into the investigation of the suspicious drowning death of an old Nazi party stalwart in the face of Gestapo resistance. Harris's story of one honest man in a regime built on widespread corruption and dishonesty is a compelling read. The novel compares well to Phillip Kerr's Bernie Gunther series, not to mention Alan Furst's fine series of thrillers set in WWII. Harris recently returned to Nazi Germany with his latest novel, Munich, set firmly in the real world, but just as taut and disturbing.
