The Scientist of Berlin

De: Daniel Pembrey

Narrado por: George Blagden, Stephan Grothgar

From LA to Berlin, from present day to the 1940s, journey from glamorous Santa Monica to the deepest darkest corners of Nazi Germany.

David Collins, a British private investigator living in LA, is hired by Geoff Hoffman, a billionaire tech magnate running for the US Senate in California. As his campaign is threatened by rumours of a past scandal, Hoffman tasks David with discovering the truth. And soon David uncovers troubling facts - ones that lead back as far as Hoffman’s Jewish grandfather during World War II.

An alternating narrative contrasts the dark, depraved world of Nazi Germany with the corporate, sun-scorched landscapes of Los Angeles in 2019.

As these two stories come together, we become engulfed in a gripping combination of contemporary thriller and historical novel.

Daniel masterfully weaves themes of identity, belonging, and heritage into a historical thriller peppered with revelations.

Nice story

Great reader, nice story. My only issue is with the use of ‘outdoorsman’ to describe homeless people in LA. Narrator claims that’s a term given to transients in LA. As an LA native, I’ve never heard that term.

Not much

Story was too jumbled. When the story concluded I was left feeling confused about what it was ultimately about.
