'A novel with the lightness of Agatha Christie's works and the depth of the most important moments in history' - Michel Laub, author of Diary of the Fall

A zeppelin leaves Nazi Germany bound for Rio de Janeiro. For those on board it's a luxury holiday, until one of them is murdered.

Police Detective Bruno Brückner, travelling on the airship, is immediately asked to investigate - and soon discovers that the murdered man was not the proud Nazi he claimed to be. What's more, he was carrying a stash of banned 'degenerate' material.

As Brückner interviews his fellow passengers - a wealthy baroness, an antisemitic doctor, a debonair Englishman - his inquiries will uncover a startling story of fake identities, queer love and revenge, where nothing is as it appears, until finally the secret of the 'good Nazi' is revealed...

READERS LOVE The Good Nazi!

'Agatha Christie in the sky! A really interesting combination of crime, intrigue and fraught 1930s politics and opinions. Very well written and paced'

'Such an impressive book, a captivating read that draws you in'

'Nearly nothing goes to waste, and the ending is actually a surprising and unexpected twist'
