Story
America, 1960. In Washington, DC, John F. Kennedy has just been elected president. In Havana, Fidel Castro has been in office for a year, and with Cold War tensions rapidly heating up and the Soviets leading the space race, the thought of a Communist leader so close to home is already raising American blood pressure. Anti-Communist fever is rampant in the USA, with a paranoid establishment seeing reds under every bed. Nevertheless, the decision to snuff out the threat of Castro by hiring Tom Jefferson, America's best assassin, to kill him comes from an unusual quarter: the Mafia.

Story
London, 2013, and the city is battling an epidemic of serial killings - even with the widespread government use of DNA detection, brain-imaging, and the 'punitive coma'. Detective Isadora 'Jake' Jacowicz is hunting a murderer, code-named 'Wittgenstein', who has taken it upon himself to eliminate anyone who has tested positive for a tendency towards violent behaviour - even if they've never committed a crime. His intellectual brilliance is matched only by his homicidal madness.

Story
On the brink of defeat, Hitler commissioned 10,000 V2s - ballistic rockets that carried a one-ton warhead at three times the speed of sound, which he believed would win the war. Dr Rudi Graf who, along with his friend Werner von Braun, had once dreamt of sending a rocket to the moon, now finds himself in November 1944 in a bleak seaside town in Occupied Holland, launching V2s against London. No one understands the volatile, deadly machine better than Graf, but his disillusionment with the war leads to him being investigated for sabotage.

What seems a gutless response from the government has pushed the Service's first desk into mounting her own counter-offensive - but she's had to make a deal with the devil first. And given that the devil in question is arch-manipulator Peter Judd, she could be about to lose control of everything she's fought for.

One of the best in a great series!

Publisher's Summary
A gripping alternative history thriller set in the Second World War, from the internationally acclaimed and best-selling author of the Bernie Gunther novels.
Autumn 1943. Hitler knows he cannot win the war: now he must find a way to make peace. FDR and Stalin are willing to negotiate; only Churchill refuses to listen. The upcoming Allied Tehran conference will be where the next steps - whatever they are - will be decided.
Into this nest of double- and triple-dealing steps Willard Mayer, OSS agent and FDR's envoy to the conference. His job is to secure the peace that the USA and Hitler now crave. The stakes couldn't be higher.
Showcasing Philip Kerr's brilliant research and masterful plotting at its best, Hitler's Peace has never before been published in the UK and is a fitting coda to the career of one of the masters of the historical thriller.

Great first part. Poor finish
I enjoyed this book until the last 4 chapters. I could go along with the inclusion of real characters from history populating the story. For the first part of the book this worked really well - FDR, Schellenberg & Powell rubbing shoulders with the main character. However, the book turned towards ‘alternative’ history of WW2 and a weak finale. This was a shame as there was a great much shorter novel in there somewhere.

There was a great story in here somewhere.
First off, this is a quite absorbing tale which is extremely well narrated,however!
The denouement is extremely weak and sadly badly constructed.
The idea that one of the principal players would have been influenced in the way he is by a concern for the human suffering of his own people is a laughable construct. Similarly the ending is a trite and cliched sacrificial nonsense which plays against everything we have learned about the character during the novel. Disappointing to say the least.

Ok but rushed ending
I wasn’t going into this book expecting it to be historically accurate, it’s a fiction book so expect it to be fictional. It’s not a bad book and overall I enjoyed it.
The story seemed to build up for a long time and then seemed to rush to a finish in the last few chapters. Often this is a good thing but in this case it just seemed like the author had run out of story so just seemed to end it.
The main character also seemed to become less and less plausible as the story progresses as he seems to become the confident and saviour of everyone.
Shame as it had a good build up and I enjoyed most of the book.

Can only make us wonder what more Philip Kerr could have done.
Kerr’s untimely death robbed his readers of who knows how many more great books. This one plays fast and loose with history and with the notions of fact, image and storytelling. Real people pop up but that doesn’t mean the story is. It’s done in a subtle and amusing way though.

A great book read by an excellent narrator
Everything you would expect from Philip Kerr. Brilliantly researched, with fictional and historical characters blending together seamlessly in a plausible, and thought-provoking plot, read by a master narrator who is perfectly suited to the author's style. What more could you ask for?

Excellent
Well researched historical novel with some great scenes. Nicely paced. Plenty of twists and turns.
Philip Kerr is a master of creating a sense of place and of grounding a novel in a believable historical time.
Excellent narrator/performer.
The only disappointment is that I wanted it to carry on. I want to know more.

Weak ending
Author doesn't like the British, there are little stereotype digs all over the book that shows his dislike. This undermines the tone of the book and comes across a little childish.
After a promising start, this drags in the middle to the point where I almost gave up.
Eventually, the story does pick up pace and the sub plot builds intrigue. Unfortunately, just when you reach the point where you are hooked, the book reaches a rather rushed ending. The villain is unmasked with a confession and the hero is killed off in the third person.
I was left somewhat underwhelmed and wanting to know what could have been and more about the summit.
