Publisher's Summary

1950. The Cold War simmers, and ex-GI Jack Waters is called in to investigate a fatal accident at a research lab in California. 

When Waters recognizes the victim, he realizes he must revisit his hidden past in World War II to solve a murder and prevent Nazi scientists from creating a terrible, new weapon in America.

Blending noir detective fiction with post-WWII history, The Man from Mittelwerk builds from the facts of Operation Paperclip, the US government’s secret recruitment of 1,600 top Nazi scientists, to pose a dark what-if scenario.

What the critics say

“A fast-paced, smart debut novel that blends noir and Lovecraftian elements. If you like J. J. Abrams' alternate history Overlord, this book is for you.” (James Kestrel, author of Five Decembers)

Excellent book, definitely worth reading!

If you like reading and are a fan of fiction and history after the Second World War, I would definitely recommend reading this novel.

Exciting story inspired by real events/ brilliant read

I read the book, an exciting spy story inspired by Operation Paperclip and some terrible events in World War II, and listened to the audiobook, which is even better. The narrator does a brilliant job bringing characters to life. If you like spy thrillers with a mix of reality and paranormal, this is for you. The book raises some heavy questions about science and human experimentation.
