"Winter, 1947. Britain's secret services have been penetrated. The country is more vulnerable than ever - and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin knows it. He decides it is time to send his master of 'Special Tasks' to create extra chaos.
But Stalin has a more important motive than mere disruption. He has a man on the inside who must be protected at all costs - a communist super-spy who has the secrets of the atomic bomb at his fingertips.
Freya Bentall, a senior MI5 officer, no longer knows who to trust and is left with one option: to bring in an outsider whose loyalty is beyond question - Cambridge professor Tom Wilde. His task: to find the traitor in MI5.
Bentall has three main suspects and Wilde must get close to them all. That means delving deep into the criminal underworld, attaching himself to the cultural elite of the arts and finding a way into the extreme reaches of British politics.
As winter bites and violence erupts, Wilde faces an uphill battle to protect those he loves from merciless killers. And he knows that one slip will spell disaster for the country - and his family."
"Intenso, inteligente y de lectura compulsiva, El hombre del búnker es un brillante thriller de espionaje ambientado en los meses posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y una de las obras más exitosas de Rory Clements, autor bestseller del Sunday Times.
Alemania, 1945. Pocos días antes del final de la guerra se informa que Adolf Hitler y su pareja, Eva Braun, se han suicidado en el búnker de Berlín. Sin embargo, nunca se encuentran los cuerpos y mucha gente, incluido el líder soviético Stalin, cree que el Führer sigue vivo y está escondido, protegido por nazis acérrimos. Día tras día, los agentes de inteligencia estadounidenses y británicos someten a los altos cargos del régimen nazi a agotadores interrogatorios en búsqueda de respuestas. Pero será el profesor de Cambridge Tom Wilde, enviado como parte de la inteligencia aliada a las ruinas de Alemania, el encargado de descubrir la verdad… a pesar de las muchas amenazas que lo acechan."
"Munich, 1935 - The Bavarian capital is a magnet for young, aristocratic Britons who come to learn German, swim in the lakes and drink beer in the cellars.
What they don't see - or choose to ignore - is the brutal underbelly of the Nazi movement which considers Munich its spiritual home.
When a high-born English girl is murdered, Detective Sebastian Wolff is ordered to solve the crime. Wolff is already walking a tight line between doing his job and falling foul of the political party he abhors. Now Hitler is taking a personal interest in the case.
Followed by the secret police and threatened by his own son, a fervent member of the Hitler Youth, the stakes have never been higher. And when Wolff begins to suspect that the killer might be linked to the highest reaches of the Nazi hierarchy, he fears his task is simply impossible - and that he might become the next victim."
"Hitler is dead. A new threat is born . . . The brand new blockbuster from 'the master of the wartime thriller' (FT)

A nearby village has been locked down by the military, its residents blighted by a deadly illness. No one is allowed in or out.
There are rumours the Nazi machine is still operational, with links to Unit 731, a notorious Japanese biological warfare research laboratory. But how could they possibly be plotting on British soil - and why?
What's more, Wilde and Templeman's names are discovered on a Gestapo kill list. And after a series of assassinations an unthinkable question emerges: could an Englishman be behind the plot?"
"In the gripping new spy thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Hitler's Secret, a Cambridge spy must unravel a dangerous mystery that goes all the way to the heart of the Third Reich - and the British Monarchy.

"1936. Mentre l'Europa è in pieno tumulto, a Berlino una giovane donna riesce a consegnare delle carte di importanza vitale a uno scienziato ebreo. Verrà però trovata morta dopo qualche settimana nella sua camera di Cambridge, con una siringa argentata stretta tra le dita. Quando anche un noto membri di un club di Londra viene orribilmente ucciso insieme a sua moglie, Thomas Wilde, un improbabile e anticonformista professore di Storia, cercherà di venire a capo dell'enigma, ritrovandosi immischiato in una storia di spionaggio che fino a quel momento aveva letto solo sui libri. Ma più Thomas Wilde investigherà a fondo, più si farà forte in lui l'ipotesi che gli omicidi siano collegati tra loro e, cosa alquanto preoccupante, abbiano a che fare con lo scandalo che ha investito Re Edoardo VIII e la sua amante Wallis Simpson. Il professor Wilde dovrà così far ricorso a tutte le sue capacità per risolvere questo rompicapo, proteggere la donna che ama, e prevenire un massacro che avrebbe potuto cambiare la storia del XX secolo."
"1939. La seconda guerra mondiale sta per esplodere e Tom Wilde sta rientrando dall'America dove ha incontrato il presidente Roosevelt, che gli ha affidato un compito del tutto inaspettato. Il professore deve infatti sfruttare la sua amicizia con il fisico Geoff Lancing, per tenere d'occhio gli scienziati del Cavendish, il laboratorio dove menti geniali stanno lavorando alla scoperta che potrebbe cambiare le sorti del mondo intero e da cui sembrano dipendere gli esiti dell'imminente guerra: la fissione nucleare. Appena tornato a Cambridge, si ritroverà anche a dover ospitare un famoso fisico fuggito dal campo di concentramento di Dachau e scoprirà che Lydia, la sua fidanzata, si è recata a Berlino per una pericolosa missione: la ricerca di un ragazzino scomparso durante uno dei Kindertransport organizzati per permettere a bambini ebrei di fuggire dalla Germania in Gran Bretagna e riuscire così a salvarsi. Quando uno dei migliori cervelli del Cavendish viene assassinato, il professor Tom Wilde viene coinvolto in un intrigo da cui non sembra esserci scampo. Mentre anche l'IRA mette sotto assedio l'Inghilterra, Tom Wilde dovrà scoprire di chi potersi fidare in una cospirazione che va da Cambridge a Berlino e dagli Stati Uniti all'Irlanda. Riuscirà a scoprire la verità prima che sia troppo tardi?"
"THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The most anticipated spy thriller of 2020, from the award-winning author of Corpus.
Autumn 1941. The war is going badly for Britain and its allies. If Hitler is to be stopped, a new weapon is desperately needed.
In Cambridge, professor Tom Wilde is approached by an American intelligence officer who claims to know of such a weapon - one so secret even Hitler himself isn't aware of its existence. If Wilde can smuggle the package out of Germany, the Third Reich will surely fall.
But it is only when he is deep behind enemy lines that Wilde discovers why the Nazis are so desperate to prevent the 'package' falling into Allied hands. And as ruthless killers hunt him through Europe, a treacherous question hangs over the mission: if Hitler's secret will win them the war, why is Wilde convinced it must remain hidden?
Dramatic, intelligent, and utterly compelling, Hitler's Secret is the Sunday Times bestselling spy thriller of 2020 from the award-winning author of Corpus and Nucleus - perfect for readers of Robert Harris, C J Sansom and Joseph Kanon.
