Summary
In February 1941 British Command surrendered to the Nazis. Churchill has been executed, the King is in the Tower and the SS are in Whitehall...

For nine months Britain has been occupied - a blitzed, depressed and dingy country. However, it's 'business as usual' at Scotland Yard run by the SS when Detective Inspector Archer is assigned to a routine murder case. Life must go on.

But when SS Standartenfuhrer Huth arrives from Berlin with orders from the great Himmler himself to supervise the investigation, the resourceful Archer finds himself caught up in a high level, all action, espionage battle.

This is a spy story quite different from any other. Only Deighton, with his flair for historical research and his narrative genius, could have written it.

this book was interesting and i liked the premise because for a short time it was quite possible. I have always found this era of interest and it was a time when life was lived fast and life precarious. To be a policeman in this time would have been unusual to say the least. The plot moves along with a good pace and the characters are believable. There are very many twists and turns that keep you listening. This is definitely a good book.

Len Deighton is a solid interesting writer of spy novels and war novels, and this one is as good as they come. I saw the BBC version TV series first, but the book is better. James Lailey is a comfortable listen as he is in the Bernie Samson triple trilogies. It is too bad that more of Len's books were not made into movies though Impress Files and Funeral in Berlin are classics.

This was an interesting read with a few twists. A word about the narrator, I like the way James Lailey reads and the sound of his voice.
