Ex-SS cop and Russian POW Bernie Gunther is making his way back to Munich
in 1949 to resurrect his career as a PI. Amid the chaos of defeat, Munich's
a place of dirty deals, rampant greed, fleeing war criminals, and all the
backstabbing intrigue that prospers in the aftermath of war. It is also a
place where a private eye can find a lot of not-quite-reputable work. A
woman seeks him out. Her husband has disappeared. She's not looking to get
him back - he's a wanted man who ran one of the most vicious concentration
camps in Poland. She just wants confirmation that he'd dead.
It's a simple enough job. But in post-war Germany, nothing is simple...
