Summary

Summary

Berlin in the spring of 1939. Hitler is preparing for war. Colonel Noel Macrae, a British diplomat, plans the ultimate sacrifice to stop him. The West’s appeasement policies have failed. There is only one alternative: assassination. The Gestapo, aware of Macrae’s hostility, seeks to compromise him in their infamous brothel. There Macrae meets and falls in love with Sara, a Jewish woman blackmailed into becoming a Nazi courtesan.

Macrae finds himself trapped between the blind policies of his government and the dark world of betrayal and deception in Berlin. As he seeks to save the woman he loves from the brutality of the Gestapo, he defies his government and plans direct action to avert what he knows will be a global war.

Inspired by true events and characters, James MacManus’ Midnight in Berlin is a passionate story that will leave you in awe of the human capacity for courage, sacrifice, and love set against a world on the brink of war.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“As pacey as any modern thriller but with a touch of the Edwardian adventure yarn…Midnight in Berlin is a vivid portrait of an entire city in turmoil, seething with intrigue and danger.” Times (London)
“A well-informed, smoothly crafted, fast-paced novel based closely on events in Berlin during the crucial months of 1938-39 and the European politics leading inevitably to war…A recommended read.” Portland Book Review
“Although MacManus clearly did tremendous research to set the novel’s scene, his storytelling gifts are as strong as his historical insights.” Connecticut Post
“A fascinating novel…Intriguing and highly recommended.” Country Life
“MacManus sets the ‘dark soul’ of Nazi Berlin as his backdrop…Detailed yet quick-moving.” Kirkus Reviews
“From the opening lines, Matthew Brenher’s pleasantly husky voice and crisp British accent capture both the atmosphere and characters of this richly detailed chronicle…He provides the perfect measured tone for British Colonel Noel Macrae…[His] mastery of tempo and intensity shines as the action alternates between Berlin and London…The result is a satisfying audiobook with broad audience appeal.” AudioFile
