I could feel interest and kinship without professional competition. This huge distance beween our projects was a good thing. I had a personal interest in the novel: I am currently writing a novel in which Heydrich plays a major role, though it’s not quite, er, the same beast (hint: werewolves!).


This book concerns Operation Anthropoid, the plot to assassinate the Nazi Reinhard Heydrich. I sought out with immense eagerness the English translation of Laurent Binet’s Prix-Goncourt-winning novel, HHhH.
