'The contemporary master of the morally complex thriller' New York Observer
Detective Bernie Gunther wants out.
The bitter winter of 1947, and the Russian Zone is closing ever more tightly around Berlin. So when Bernie Gunther is asked to go to Vienna, where an ex-Kripo colleague Emil Becker faces a murder charge, he doesn't hesitate for long. And, despite an unsavoury past, he suspects Becker may be innocent for once...
But Vienna is not the peaceful haven Bernie expects it to be. Communism is the new enemy, and with the Nuremberg trials over, some strange alliances are being forged against the Red Menace - alignments that make many wartime atrocities look lily-white by comparison.
Vividly evoking the atmosphere of postwar Vienna, A Germen Requiem brings all Philip Kerr's pace and mordant wit to the tangle of guilt, suspicion, and double-dealing that laid the foundations for the Cold War.
'Complex intrigue...brilliantly provoking political asides and insights' The Times
'Powerful period flavour; a gruff, subversive hero; Kerr delivers the goods' Literary Review

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Post-World War 2, Bernie Gunther investigates the murder of an American Nazi-hunter amongst the ruins of the Third Reich in this riveting thriller in Philip Kerr's bestselling historical mystery series.Vienna, 1947. Bernie Gunther had his first brush with evil as a policeman in 1930s Berlin and came to know it intimately as a private eye under the Nazis, when each case drew him deeper into the enormities of the regime. Now the war is over and Bernie is in Vienna, trying to clear an old friend and ex-Kripo colleague of the murder of an American officer. Amid decaying imperial splendor Bernie traces concentric circles of evil that lead him to a former head of the Gestapo and to a legacy that makes the atrocities of the war seem lily-white in comparison.
