I remember reading this book when I got my job back in 2004. I remember as well having afraid of showing this cover on the streets. At that time I was a bit touched by the Far Right so I read several novels with that thematic. Nowadays I'm still a Far Right supporter but I refuse to believe that violence is the way to power and I abhor anyone that says himself a Far Right supporter that worships (for lack of better term) Nazism. You can be a Far Right supporter but don't believe in violence or support that some races are superior to others. That's bullsh*t. We are not equals. There are differences between each culture and every culture must perserve his own culture but never destroying or trying to convert others. Sorry for this thoughts... And for anyone who will write criticisms for my thoughts and not the reviews ... "Fvck Off I really don't care"
Now this book is about a detective in a dystopia where Nazism prevails after several dozen years. Hitler is meeting President Kennedy for a historic meeting. The dystopia novel is pretty good for a first time writer (yet he is a journalist). He shows us how history could have been so different with small changes... As March (our detective) tries to uncover the truth behind a murder of an important member of the nazi party he mets a american journalist and both travel far and wide to discover the truth. Gestapo is killing one by one the officials that planned the Holocaust (most population in general are unaware of the events). As they go to one place to another March is apreenhed by the Gestapo because his son ran him out. They torture him to reveal the location of the american journalist but March doesn't falter. Gestapo officers have an idea and stage a rescue but the inspector realizes what they intent and lead them to auschwitz to let the reporter arrive safe in the neutral swiss. The end was that kind of book that makes you wonder since in the end has March uncovers a brick that belong to the extermination camps so he pulls a gun and the story ends leaving us to think what happen (it's pretty obvious no?) There is a dozens upon dozens books in the "what if" universe that depicts Nazi victory. One way or another the writers depict the germans/nazis the same way. Even nazizm. It happens the same in the history of what if in the North vs South. This book deserves 8.5/10

I think the concept of this story is super interesting. The execution just wasn't for me. I would've loved it if it was from Charlotte's pov, because I would be able to relate more.
Some parts were confusing with regards to at what point in the investigation they were or why certain actions were taken. That doesn't take away from the message of the book, which is still very well thought out.

Υπέροχο δείγμα εναλλακτικής ροής της ιστορίας, πολύ καλά τεκμηριωμένο και με την απαραίτητη δόση μυστηρίου που το απογείωσε.
Pretty hooked on the world here, I thought it was a really interesting ‘what if?’
The story was more of a mystery than a deep dive on the world that was built and gave me ‘Girl with the dragon tattoo’ vibes in places, which I was a fan of.
It feel like the kind of book that would be quickly turned into a film or Tv series but I don’t think it has been, which is odd?
