In the tradition of Alan Furst, the #1 international
bestselling author delivers his first stand-alone novel, a
psychological thriller set in World War II Nazi Germany and
1970s England
British pilots James Teasdale and Bryan Young have been
chosen to conduct a special photo-reconnaissance mission
near Dresden, Germany. Intelligence believes the Nazis are
building new factories that could turn the tide of the war.
When their plane is shot down, James and Bryan know they
will be executed if captured. With an enemy patrol in
pursuit, they manage to jump aboard a train reserved for
senior SS soldiers wounded on the eastern front.
In a moment of desperation, they throw two patients off the
train and take their places, hoping they can escape later.
But their act is too convincing and they end up in the
Alphabet House, a mental hospital located far behind enemy
lines, where German doctors subject their patients to daily
rounds of shock treatments and experimental drugs.
The pilots’ only hope of survival is to fake insanity until
the war ends, but their friendship and courage are put to
the ultimate test when James and Bryan realize they aren’t
the only ones in the Alphabet House feigning madness.
Millions of fans around the world—and in this country—know
Adler-Olsen for his award-winning Department Q series. His
first stand-alone, The Alphabet House, is the perfect
introduction for those who have yet to discover his riveting
work.
