Review title: Great Scenario-Author does nothing with it.
Product review: The whole basis for this novel, that the Nazi's won the war and Hitler's 75th birthday celebration is coming combined with a detective story is a "what if" readers dream but the author sets up a great premise and does absolutely nothing with it. Oh, there's a murder, and there's a secret behind the murder, but I can't believe all the other reviewers of this novel were even a bit surprised by the "secret" revealed. The only reason that even a moron couldn't guess what the "secret" is would be that there would have to be something else in a book this hyped, wouldn't there? Sadly there isn't. Also, the author pretty much stole the idea from Len Deighton's absolutely superb novel SS-GB which he could be forgiven if it was any good. SS-GB is the real thing and has an actual ending to go with the premise. Fatherland is a very poor imitation.
