WW II alternative history
Rating  (5)
Date: 2007-08-30
This is a fine alt. history novel, and a first rate novel even for mainstream readers (i.e. not alt. hist. fans). The story is set in 1941 after the successful German invasion of England, the background of the plot. (This is not a military history such as McArthur's War.) The hero, a police inspector, is investigating a murder in Shepherds Bush, a section of London. Thru' this he is led into an intrigue which eventually involves the attempted escape from England of King George and an American raid on the British atomic laboratory at Brindle Sands.
One of Deighton's best novels.
