Recenzii
A vicious Nazi war criminal living in plain sight and the bleak landscape of post-Wall East Germany. William Cook has conjured up the perfect setting for a dark, nerve-shredding thriller
Cook's writing has an unmistakable fag-ash and vodka sting of authenticity.The Fifteenth Man is an absolute page-turner: gritty, atmospheric and gripping
Brilliantly atmospheric, evocative both of 1990 Berlin and of a bygone age of journalism. A propulsive tale of old-school investigative reporting, made all the more compelling by its irresistible ring of authenticity
Move over Philip Marlowe because Michael Braun has arrived. Everything a Cold War thriller reader could wish for and as an added bonus it is exceptionally written. A stand-out debut crime novel of the year
Fascinating, and twisted in a most satisfying way, capturing the essence of Berlin so well you can almost smell the dirty pavements and feel the rain. A wonderful sense of end of an era, which perfectly reflects the uncertainties of the time
A clever and intriguing tale from a fascinating sliver of Cook's own family's story. The result is a finely paced and genuinely absorbing novel which easily passes the 'hard to put down' threshold
Brilliantly atmospheric, The Fifteenth Man introduces us to Michael Braun - an antihero journalist sent to track down a Nazi last seen in Hitler's bunker in 1945. But this is Berlin as the wall falls, and Braun finds himself confounded at every turn. Propulsive and punchy
Redolent with the tang of cigarettes, ersatz coffee and Weissbier, this darkly funny journey through the streets and bars of reunification-era Berlin is an ode to the morally grey talents of its journalist protagonist... A spy story that will grab the reader like a front page splash
The Fifteenth Man continues the rising revival of the modern spy novel with a great twist on the grubby, seedy side of post-Wall Berlin. Demoralised journalists, hidden nazis, cold-hearted women and corrupt policemen fight for survival in an amoral world. What's not to like?
Darkly realistic, gritty and chilling, The Fifteenth Man beautifully evokes the paranoia and flexible morality of post-Wall Berlin. A seriously good and atmospheric historical crime novel and one hell of a debut
Grim, gritty, gripping. The Fifteenth Man is a pulse-pounding and utterly compelling thriller about the price of secrets and the cost of the truth
Dark, atmospheric, and chillingly believable, The Fifteenth Man brilliantly captures the paranoia and moral ambiguity of Cold War Berlin. This is a thriller readers will struggle to put down
Utterly gripping and stunningly believable, Cook's novel enthralled me from beginning to end
