It is 1964 and preperations are underway in Berlin for the 75th birthday celebrations of Adolf Hitler. For it is indeed a very different Berlin to the one we know today - a city dominated by the huge triumphal arches and monolithic constructions of Hitlers architect Albert Speer, and the centre of a vast third Reich that spreads from the Rhine to the Urals under Hitler's thrall. Xavier March is a policeman in Berlin's criminal division. When an old man's body is discovered drowned, March begins a routine investigation which rapidly becomes anything but routine. Ordered off the case by the Gestapo, his curiosity leads him through a maze of unexplained homicides, Swiss bank accounts, secret documents dating from the Second World War and finally to a terrible revelation burried in history. Brilliantly told, meticulously researched, boldly imagine, Fatherland is quite simply the thriller of the decade.

Industry Reviews

The highly original first novel from Robert Harris. It is 1964, nearly 20 years since Germany's World War victory. Xavier March is an investigator with the Berlin criminal police. A case involving the corpse of an old man starts off as routine but March soon finds the clues leading to a conspiracy that stretches from the war to the very heart of the Nazi state. In the days before Hitler's 75th birthday the mystery starts to unravel. A chilling what-if scenario is brilliantly executed. (Kirkus UK)
