Fatherland

Book • 1992
Set in 1964 in a world where the Axis powers won World War II, 'Fatherland' by Robert Harris is an alternative history detective novel.

The story follows Xavier March, a detective in the Kriminalpolizei (Kripo), as he investigates the murder of Josef Bühler, a high-ranking Nazi official involved in the Wannsee Conference.

As March delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a conspiracy involving senior Nazi Party officials and discovers evidence of the Holocaust.

The novel explores the dark and oppressive atmosphere of a totalitarian Nazi regime and the personal risks March and his American journalist ally, Charlotte 'Charlie' Maguire, take to expose the truth.
