About this title

Review:

'Somehow Mr Kerr just gets better and better' Telegraph. (Telegraph)

'This is a locked-room murder, worthy of Agatha Christie' Independent. (Independent)

'Historically accurate with a forensic eye for period detail ... a thoroughly intriguing story in a fast-paced, psychologically engaging whodunit' Lady. (Lady)

'Nods to Poirot suggest Kerr set himself the challenge of working the Holocaust into an Agatha Christie-style country house mystery. If so, he has pulled it off with aplomb' Sunday Times. (Sunday Times)

From the Back Cover:

1942, somewhere outside Prague. In a house full of murderers, anything is possible. SS-General Reinhard Heydrich, the darkest member of the Nazi elite, orders detective Bernie Gunther to spend a weekend at his country house. It's an invitation Bernie accepts reluctantly, especially when he learns that his fellow guests are all senior figures from the SS and SD. When a body is found, Bernie has to wrestle with an impossible mystery. But solve it he must - Heydrich is a man who does not like to lose face.
