It's just another murder, one of the hundreds of simple homicides
in 1939: A spinster nurse is killed in her apartment; a suspect is
caught with the murder weapon and convicted. Fintan Dunne, the P.I.
lured onto the case and coerced by conscience into unraveling the
complex setup that has put an innocent man on Death Row, will soon
find that this is a murder with tentacles which stretch far beyond
the crime scene . . . to Nazi Germany, in fact; following it to the
end leads him into a murder conspiracy of a scope that defies
imagination. The same clouds are rolling over Berlin, where plans
for a military coup are forming among a cadre of Wehrmacht
officers. Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, head of the Military
Intelligence, is gripped by a deadly paralysis: He is neither with
the plotters nor against them. Joining them in treason would
violate every value he holds as an officer. Betraying the plotters
to the Gestapo Chief, Reinhard Heydrich, might just forsake the
country's last hope to avert utter destruction and centuries of
shame. Heydrich is suspicious. With no limits to Hitler's manic
pursuit of territorial expansion, with crimes against the people
candy-coated as racial purification, the "hour of the cat" looms
when every German conscience must make a choice. When Canaris
receives an order to assist in a sinister covert operation on
foreign shores, his hour has come. Hour of the Cat is a stunning
achievement: tautly suspenseful, hauntingly memorable, and
brilliantly authentic.
