Alistair Moffat: A Tale of Zero Hour
In Alistair Moffat’s ingenious thriller The Night Before Morning, the summer of 1945 finds Hitler victorious and Britain under German control.

As a debut novelist, he’s brought all his historical knowledge of Scotland to bear on an imaginary story which rings terrifyingly true. He discusses the novel with Jenny Brown today.
