In its pages, Europe under the shadow of the Third Reich and RAF bombings comes alive again; this is a brilliant debut., "I loved The Torqued Man, its riotous irreverence, its coiled suspense. It's a brilliant, surprising novel, Don Quixote by way of le Carré." -- Jess Walter, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins and The Cold Millions "Writing with intelligence, style, and wit, Peter Mann has created two unforgettable characters and braided them together in a thrilling World War II story unlike any other." -- David Ebershoff, New York Times bestselling author of The 19th Wife and The Danish Girl "Peter Mann's The Torqued Man is a damn good read." -- Alan Furst "A rollicking spy novel full of Nabokovian tricks, The Torqued Man is wildly funny and tremendously sad.

The result is a strange, sinisterly funny meditation on that greatest of all imponderables: the Second World War." -- Lawrence Osborne, author of The Forgiven and The Glass Kingdom, I loved The Torqued Man, its riotous irreverence, its coiled suspense.

Synopsis
"A damn good read."--Alan Furst A brilliant debut novel, at once teasing literary thriller and a darkly comic blend of history and invention, The Torqued Man is set in wartime Berlin and propelled by two very different but equally mesmerizing voices: a German spy handler and his Irish secret agent, neither of whom are quite what they seem. Berlin--September, 1945 . Two manuscripts are found in rubble, each one narrating conflicting versions of the life of an Irish spy during the war. One of them is the journal of a German military intelligence officer and an anti-Nazi cowed into silence named Adrian de Groot, charting his relationship with his agent, friend, and sometimes lover, an Irishman named Frank Pike. In De Groot's narrative, Pike is a charismatic IRA fighter sprung from prison in Spain to assist with the planned German invasion of Britain, but who never gets the chance to consummate his deal with the devil. Meanwhile, the other manuscript gives a very different account of the Irishman's doings in the Reich. Assuming the alter ego of the Celtic hero Finn McCool, Pike appears here as the ultimate Allied saboteur. His mission: an assassination campaign of high-ranking Nazi doctors, culminating in the killing of Hitler's personal physician. The two manuscripts spiral around each other, leaving only the reader to know the full truth of Pike and De Groot's relationship, their ultimate loyalties, and their efforts to resist the fascist reality in which they are caught., "A damn good read."--Alan Furst A brilliant debut novel, at once teasing literary thriller and a darkly comic blend of history and invention, The Torqued Man is set in wartime Berlin and propelled by two very different but equally mesmerizing voices: a German spy handler and his Irish secret agent, neither of whom are quite what they seem.
