The Berlin Gambit Summary

The Berlin Gambit by David O'Donnell

The Reich will protect its secrets.

1942, Berlin.

After Police Chief Investigator Rolf Schneider is summoned to a meeting with Himmler and tasked with investigating the assassination of Heydrich, he exposes a web of corruption and secrecy involving the highest-ranking figures in the Reich.

Schneider is faced with an agonising dilemma, for the secret he discovers is both the only thing that can save his life and what will mark him down for certain death. His choice propels him into a desperate race against the clock, one in which he must travel to the very heart of darkness.

Based around real World War II events.

For fans of Philip Kerr, Robert Harris and Volker Kutscher.

The Berlin Gambit 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'

-- Alastair Mabbott * 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'

* Journal of the Law Society of Scotland *

'This atmospheric novel, based on real events, captures well the troubled times under the Nazi regime... promising and assured debut'

-- Jasmina Svenne * Historical Novel Society *
