Review
Philip Kerr is the contemporary master of the morally complex thriller... (New York Observer)
From the Back Cover
'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
