This group meets on the second Monday of each month to discuss a specific mystery, horror, or
intrigue novel. Fatherland by Robert Harris. Robert Harris' Fatherland is a gripping
distopia/alternate history novel in which Hitler won the second world war and created his vision of
the world. Set in the nineteen sixties; Fatherland sees the surface of grim secrets which lead a
maverick police officer (bear with me) on a trail of discovery. Steeped in the style and substance of
twenties "film noirs", the book vividly presents a world of shadows and lies that will haunt the
reader. Equal parts grim and gratifying. For additional information click www.paneranj.com.
