Reviews
"'A very strong debut, weaving Schneider's transformation from apolitical cop to anti-Nazi desperado through a gripping, paranoid narrative that embraces conspiracy at the highest levels of Nazi command, a secret deal with a foreign power and a nail-biting climax'"
Herald
"'[a] pacy debut set in 1941 Berlin and based on real Second World War events ... Riveting'"
Sunday Post
"'The author has clearly done his research and captures Nazi Germany well ... the narrative satisfyingly unfolds. The story develops drawing in other contemporary events and the horror Schneider faces. We await with interest what Mr O'Donnell has to offer next'"
