In 1942, parachutists Jozef Gabcík and Jan Kubiš are dropped into Nazi-occupied Prague with orders to kill Reinhard Heydrich, one of the most feared figures in the Third Reich.

Heydrich oversees the Nazi secret services and helps design the machinery of terror across occupied Europe. The parachutists’ mission, known as Operation Anthropoid, depends on secrecy, courage and the support of an underground resistance network. Moving between cramped Prague safe houses and the corridors of power in Berlin, HHhH traces the careful planning of the assassination and the tense days that follow.

Grounded in real events during the Second World War, HHhH is a panoramic work of historical fiction that tells a story of heroism, loyalty, revenge and betrayal.

Laurent Binet lives and works in France. His first novel, HHhH, was an international bestseller which won the prestigious Prix Goncourt du premier roman, among other prizes. The 7th Function of Language won the Prix de la FNAC and Prix Interallié. Civilisations is a bestseller that has won the Grand Prix de l'Académie française. Sam Taylor is an award-winning literary translator and novelist. He has translated more than 60 books from French including Laurent Binet's HHhH and Leila Slimani's Lullaby.
