About this listen
Bernie Gunther is back, in deeper trouble than ever in this new novel from the master of the historical thriller.
Summer, 1942. When Bernie Gunther is ordered to speak at an international police conference, an old acquaintance has a favour to ask. Little does Bernie suspect what this simple surveillance task will provoke....
One year later, resurfacing from the hell of the Eastern Front, Bernie receives another task that seems straightforward: locating the father of Dalia Dresner, the rising star of German cinema. And if escaping Berlin for a beautiful woman isn't motivation enough, there's the small matter of the request's origin: Goebbels himself.
But Dresner's father hails from Yugoslavia, a country so riven by sectarian horrors that even Bernie's stomach is turned. And meanwhile, the previous year's cold case lingers on, and there's only so long Bernie can stay away.
Bernie hasn't mellowed one iota, and his mordant wit and cynical observations are as sharp as ever. But even with monsters at home and abroad, one thing alone drives him on from Berlin to Zagreb to Zurich: Bernie Gunther has fallen in love.

This book is not for the faint-hearted. Philip Kerr beautifully weaves this faction with his detailed understanding of world history from the first half of the 20th century, This is Bernie Gunther at his most morose where even he struggles to find many moments of real humour instead there is the hard-boiled cynicism of one who has seen too much, There is some romance, but when this is against the backdrop of the Second World War, with man's neverending ability to find reasons to hate another and numerous ways to make them suffer, the romance cannot be fully enjoyed.
I listened to Jeff Harding's narrations in the earlier books, but Jonathan Keeble makes an equally good Bernie Gunther.
A worthwhile isten.
A painful time for all
