'A brilliantly constructed spy novel' Observer

'Grips from start to finish ... Superb' Mail on Sunday

MUNICH, SEPTEMBER 1938

Hitler is determined to start a war. Chamberlain is desperate to preserve the peace.

They will meet in a city which forever afterwards will be notorious for what is about to take place.

As Chamberlain's plane judders over the channel and the Fuhrer's train steams south, two young men travel with their leaders. Former friends from a more peaceful time, they are now on opposing sides.

As Britain's darkest hour approaches, the fate of millions could depend on them - and the secrets they're hiding.

Spying. Betrayal. Murder. Is any price too high for peace?

Grips from start to finish . . . Munich captures the mood of the times: the suspicion and the fear, the political intrigue, the swagger of the Nazi machine and the widespread elation at the mistaken belief that war has been averted. Superb.
Simon Humphreys, Mail on Sunday

Harris’s cleverness, judgment and eye for detail are second to none . . . his research is so impeccable that he could have cut all the spy stuff and published Munich as a history book. Harris’s treatment of Britain’s most maligned prime minister is so powerful, so persuasive, that it ranks among the most moving fictional portraits of a politician that I have ever read
Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times

Grips from start to finish . . . Munich captures the mood of the times: the suspicion and the fear, the political intrigue, the swagger of the Nazi machine and the widespread elation at the mistaken belief that war has been averted. Superb.

An intelligent thriller . . . with exacting attention to historical detail

A gripping account of the negotiations between Britain and Germany in 1938 before the outbreak of war

Atmospheric and fast-paced literary thriller . . . [it] grips from start to finish . . . Superb

Unputdownable to the point of being dangerous: the house could have been on fire while I was reading and I wouldn’t have noticed

Harris makes the reader gasp at every turn, with a truly moving portrayal of Chamberlain as a man who did the wrong thing for the right reason

A brilliantly constructed spy novel set amid the politicking of Chamberlain’s last-ditch negotiations with Hitler

A tantalising addition to the inexhaustible game of “what if”?

A wonderful tale of personal relationships and political drama…This is a very, very good read
