Hitler's Assassins

In 1938, Klara Koch is taken into employ as Hitler's personal domestic cook. This novel - the second volume in Steve Matthews' gripping Nazi trilogy - takes you on a journey through World War II in Nazi Germany as seen through Klara's eyes. In doing so, it gives readers a uniquely clever re-imagining of Hitler, his inner circle, and daily life in his mountain stronghold, the Berghof. Germany reveres the image of the Fuhrer, but Klara and the household staff are privy to the real Hitler - his secrets, his ailments and his addictions. They also see who comes and goes, and Klara soon realises that not all of the visitors are avid admirers of their leader. Hitler is right to be paranoid. This thoroughly researched and compelling story takes readers right up close and personal with Hitler as he spirals increasingly out of control in pursuit of his drug-fuelled quest for world domination.
