Fatherland

An alternate history from Robert Harris, an acclaimed master of the genre. It is not only an enthralling detective thriller, but also a philosophical reflection on how minor details can alter the course of history. The book depicts a world in which Germany won World War II. Set in an alternate Europe, the story follows the protagonist — a police detective — as he attempts to unravel a series of mysterious deaths. His investigation gradually exposes the true scale of the nightmare hidden behind the facade of a totalitarian state.
