He is a brilliant historical novelist. Dowswell shows us a side of Nazi Germany rarely seen ... a heart-stopping read Praise for AUSLANDER: 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 AUSLANDER: 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
