A Man Lies Dreaming by Lavie Tidhar

5.0

This book was hard to wrap my mind around, its an alternate history book where Hitler failed to get power and had to flee to London and became a PI (that is evident from the start of the book BTW so no spoiler) but its also a Dashiell Hammett type of hard boiled detective. As I read this I had a Maltese falcon like moving running in my head with Peter Lorre as Hitler. If you are a fan of hard boiled detective stories this will be right up your alley with a decidedly dark side to it. Its like he channeled Dashiell Hammett it was impressive. This is probably the most unique book I have ever read.
