Publisher Description
From the internationally best-selling author of Fatherland and the Cicero Trilogy--a new spy thriller about treason and conscience, loyalty and betrayal, set against the backdrop of the fateful Munich Conference of September 1938.
Hugh Legat is a rising star of the British diplomatic service, serving at 10 Downing Street as a private secretary to the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain. Paul von Hartmann is on the staff of the German Foreign Office--and secretly a member of the anti-Hitler resistance. The two men were friends at Oxford in the 1920s, but have not been in contact since. Now, when Hugh flies with Chamberlain from London to Munich, and Hartmann travels on Hitler's train overnight from Berlin, their paths are set on a disastrous collision course. And once again, Robert Harris gives us actual events of historical importance--here are Hitler, Chamberlain, Mussolini, Daladier--at the heart of an electrifying, unputdownable novel.

Quotes
-
“An intelligent thriller…with exacting attention to historical detail.”
— The Times (London) -
“A tense and subtle narrative of the 1938 deal that sold out the Czechs.”
— Financial Times (London) -
“With seemingly effortless changes in accent, vocal tone, and emotional content, Rintoul makes each character distinct, from secretaries to military personnel to heads of state…A tour de force recording.”
— Booklist (starred audio review) -
“Vocally dexterous narrator David Rintoul…portrays protagonist Hugh Legat, a personal aide of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, with the assuredness of tone and pacing of an accomplished actor. There are a plethora of fascinating characters for Rintoul to portray, and he depicts each one with individuality and personality.”

“[Harris’] writing remains lean and understated throughout Munich, even when the spy-craft starts…The result is an entertaining mix of diplomacy and derring-do…History buffs should find it exhilarating.”
— Richmond-Times Dispatch
