    The Assassination of Reinhard Heydrich

    A darkly comic and deeply researched hybrid of history and metafiction that follows the rise and methods of a key Nazi architect of terror and the daring 1942 Czech operation to assassinate him, tracing both the planning and violent aftermath while repeatedly interrupting the narrative to examine the challenges and ethics of retelling such events; the result is at once a vivid portrait of a historical monster, a tense spy-thriller about the men who hunted him, and a self-aware reflection on the limits of historical reconstruction.
