The Good Nazi

‘A novel with the lightness of Agatha Christie’s works and the depth of the most important moments in history’ – Michel Laub, author of Diary of the Fall
 
A zeppelin leaves Nazi Germany bound for Rio de Janeiro. For those on board it’s a luxury holiday, until one of them is murdered.
 
Police Detective Bruno Brückner, travelling on the airship, is immediately asked to investigate – and soon discovers that the murdered man was not the proud Nazi he claimed to be. What’s more, he was carrying a stash of banned ‘degenerate’ material.
As Brückner interviews his fellow passengers – a wealthy baroness, an antisemitic doctor, a debonair Englishman – his inquiries will uncover a startling story of fake identities, queer love and revenge, where nothing is as it appears, until finally the secret of the ‘good Nazi’ is revealed…
