( ) New York, juin 1938: on découvre le corps d'une infirmière dans un vieil immeuble. Le détective privé Fintan Dunne commence son enquête. Curieusement, toutes les pistes convergent vers des membres de l'élite américaine, fascinés par les théories eugéniques nazies. De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, l'Allemagne assiste au triomphe d'Hitler. Tiraillés entre morale et patriotisme, quelques officiers des services secrets tentent de mettre un frein à la folie du dictateur : l'heure du chat, celle où l'on choisit son camp, a sonné... Dans ce thriller captivant, Peter Quinn décrit avec subtilité les rapports troubles qu'entretenaient l'Allemagne et les États-Unis, à la veille d'un conflit qui a changé la face du monde. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieFintan Dunne (1)
On the eve of World War II, "just another little murder" in New York City draws two vastly different men, an American detective and a German intelligence officer, into the gathering storm. One of hundreds of simple homicides each year, indistinguishable from any other in 1938 was the death of a spinster nurse killed in her apartment. A suspect is caught and convicted. Fintan Dunne, the P.I. lured onto the case and coerced by conscience into unraveling the complex setup that has put an innocent man on death row, will quickly discover that this is a murder with tentacles that stretch far beyond the crime scene, to Nazi Germany, in fact. Following it to the end leads him into a murder conspiracy of a scope that defies imagination. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
