Echowave: Book 3 of the WW2 spy novels set in neutral Ireland

Echowave is thrilling and wonderfully stylish, packed with atmosphere and period detail. As usual the dialogue crackles, urging on the ingenious plot. A splendid read – Benjamin Black (aka John Banville), author of The Quirke MysteriesJune 1941. A secret American bomb-sight is missing in neutral Ireland after a USAF plane crash. American, British, German spies are in a race to find it first. So, too, is Paul Duggan, a young Irish military intelligence officer still pining for a beautiful Austrian-Jewish refugee who has moved on to a new life in New York. The search and diplomatic arm-twisting as the Allies try to force Ireland to abandon its neutrality become entwined and take Duggan to the dangerous back streets of Lisbon, where the intelligence games between the Allies and the Nazis can turn deadly.
