Critic Reviews

Seb Wolff is the Inspector Morse of pre-war Germany. Fans of Michael Connelly or Lee Child will love this (Conn Iggulden)
Clements delivers a masterclass in historical suspense. Terrifyingly atmospheric, blisteringly paced, and utterly unputdownable (Scott Mariani)
Master of the wartime thriller
A gripping, subtle and atmospheric thriller that focuses on a time when Hitler was seen as a necessary evil, rather than the ultimate evil that he would become
A well-plotted, character-driven thriller full of suspense and intrigue...Gripping and absorbing, this is a series worth investing in
Rory Clements has built a reputation as one of the leading British writers of historical thrillers, blending meticulous research with propulsive, high-stakes storytelling.
'A novel that works on two levels: as a taut, compulsive thriller and as a moral study of a man pushed to the edge of his own principles.....This is a story that entertains and unsettles leaving the reader pondering the fragile boundary between resistance and surrender'
Clements’ thrilling murder mysteries are a real cut above
