Description

'Historical fiction of a high order' The Times
Germany, October 1944: Dozens of cities lie in ruins. Enemy armies are at the gates. For the Thousand Year Reich, time is running out.

Desperate to avoid the humiliation of unconditional surrender, German intelligence launch Operation Finisterre – a last-ditch plan to enable Hitler to deny the savage logic of a war on two fronts and bluff his way to the negotiating table.

Success depends on two individuals: Stefan Portisch, a German naval officer washed ashore on the coast of Spain after the loss of his U-boat, and Hector Gomez, an ex-FBI detective, planted by Director J. Edgar Hoover in the middle of the most secret place on earth: the American atomic bomb complex. Both men will find themselves fighting for survival as Operation Finisterre plays itself out.

Finisterre is part of the SPOILS OF WAR Collection, a thrilling, beguiling blend of fact and fiction born of some of the most tragic, suspenseful, and action-packed events of World War II. From the mind of highly acclaimed thriller author GRAHAM HURLEY, this blockbuster non-chronological collection allows the reader to explore Hurley's masterful storytelling in any order, with compelling recurring characters whose fragmented lives mirror the war that shattered the globe.

I loved the Faraday/Winter and Suttle series. They were police procedurals of the highest calibre and were wonderful reads which made you really care about the fate of the individuals concerned.

Now Graham Hurley, a sadly underrated writer has gone in a new direction and written a World War 2 thriller which cleverly combines the fate of a U Boat commander and the development of the atomic bomb in America and how Hitler makes a desperate last gasp attempt to bring the allies to the negotiating table rather than suffer unconditional defeat.

Deeply researched and beautifully written this is a book to savour and it is the first of what promises to be an exceptional new series.

Highly recommended.
