Reviews
He is a brilliant historical novelist. Dowswell shows us a side of Nazi Germany rarely seen ... a heart-stopping read * Praise for AUSLAENDER: Sunday Telegraph *
A superlative, at times almost agonisingly compelling, piece of historical fiction ... The climactic escape to freedom is pure muck-sweat tension * Praise for AUSLAENDER: Financial Times *
A great thriller with a poignant historical background ... A terrific book * Praise for SEKTION 20: Bookseller *
Dowswell achieves a sense of balance between the fast-paced action and adrenalin rush of a thriller and the detail and realism of a historical novel in this perfectly pitched hybrid novel * Praise for SEKTION 20: Books for Keeps *
A teenage book of the year * Praise for ELEVEN ELEVEN: Independent *
