Representaion As Books Ratlines

Ireland 1963. As the Irish people prepare to welcome President John F. Kennedy to the land of his ancestors, a German national is murdered in a seaside guesthouse. Lieutenant Albert Ryan, Directorate of Intelligence, is ordered to investigate. The German is the third foreigner to die within a few days, and Minister for Justice Charles Haughey wants the killing to end lest a shameful secret be exposed: the dead men were all Nazis granted asylum by the Irish government in the years following World War II.

A note from the killers is found on the dead German's corpse, addressed to Colonel Otto Skorzeny, Hitler's favorite commando, once called the most dangerous man in Europe. The note simply says: "We are coming for you."

As Albert Ryan digs deeper into the case he discovers a network of former Nazis and collaborators, all presided over by Skorzeny from his country estate outside Dublin. When Ryan closes in on the killers, his loyalty is torn between country and conscience. Why must he protect the very people he fought against twenty years before? Ryan learns that Skorzeny might be a dangerous ally, but he is a deadly enemy.

Evaluate Regarding Books Ratlines

a mystery/police procedural and a semi-noir novel set in ireland 1960's in where the protag is a badass uk army commando who gets assigned to minister of justice (corupt greedy douche bag) and tasked with taking care of a very rich nazi living the life in ireland. lots and lots of torture, murder, and mayhem ensue. another, and better take on nazis and germans in ireland is vargas llosa's novel The Dream of the Celt: A Novel it was just serendipity that i read both at same time.

Really enjoyed this. Great idea for a novel, although had to skip the torture scenes...

A stand alone book by the author of the Lennon series. This book remains me of the departure that Lehane made from the Kenzie series and moved to what I call the "quasi" historical fiction genre. This book has as it main character an Irishman, Lt. Ryan, that fought for the English during the WW II and Korean wars despite the stance the Irish took against helping Britain during the conflict. In 1963, prior to the JFK visit to Ireland, several expatriated Nazi are murdered by unknown individuals.

(This was a free review copy from Dead Good Books- a review has been submitted to them & will appear on their website.)This is on the CWA shortlist for this year- but I'm not entirely sure why....Ratlines has an intriguing premise- it's about a nazi colonel, Otto Skorzeny, who fled to Ireland after WW2; when he is pursued by unknown killers, he uses his friendship with the then Minister of Justice Charles Haughey to have Albert Ryan from G2 (the Irish secret service) assigned. There then

Set yourself in Ireland 1963, 18 years after the end of WWII but 18 years is hardly enough time for people to forget the horrors that occurred in and by Nazi Germany. During the war Ireland stayed neutral not wanting to get pulled into another one of Britain's fights, though some like the main character Ryan, did fight with the British. Many Nazi's sought refugee in Ireland after the war to try and save themselves persecution. It is true that Skorzeny, like in the novel, lived in Ireland. It
