'With subtlety and intelligence, Thomas joins the historical dots to produce a novel with plenty to say - eloquently - about the brutalising effects of the Holocaust' Guardian. 'A thought provoking account of an ordinary person's capacity to do evil ... a fascinating important book' Literary Review. 'Very rarely do books reach into your psyche and take root. Ostland came along and kicked my door down. A wonderfully thought-provoking novel. Educational, entertaining and emotive throughout ... a first class read by an author at the top of their game' Crimesquad. 'To simply label Ostland as a crime thriller would not only do a great disservice to the sheer power and scope of this novel ... This is without doubt one of the most affecting novels that I have read ... not just a book that deserves to be read, but a book that also needs to be read' Ravencrimereads. 'An ambitious and very powerful novel that reflects the ultimate incomprehensibility of the Holocaust' Crimetime.

David Thomas is a journalist and writer, who also writes thrillers under the name Tom Cain. Ostland is his second book written under his own name.
