HHhH

We are in Prague, in 1942. Two men have been enlisted to kill the head of the Gestapo. This is Operation Anthropoid: two Czechoslovakian parachutists sent by London plan to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich - head of the Nazi secret services, 'the hangman of Prague', 'the blond beast', 'the most dangerous man in the Third Reich'. Heydrich works for Hitler's most powerful henchman, Heinrich Himmler, but in the SS they say HHHH: 'Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich' - Himmler's brain is called Heydrich. HHHH is an astonishing, unforgettable novel: a thrilling Second World War assassination plot told with rare literary brilliance.
