Publisher Description
Now in one volume—the first three novels in Philip Kerr’s New York Times bestselling historical mystery series starring hard-boiled detective Bernie Gunther...
“A Chandleresque knight errant caught in insane historical surroundings. Bernie walks down streets so mean that nobody can stay alive and remain truly clean.”—John Powers, Fresh Air (NPR)
Ex-policeman Bernie Gunther thought he'd seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin. But then he went freelance, and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture. And even after the war, amidst the decayed, imperial splendour of Vienna, Bernie uncovered a legacy that made the wartime atrocities look lily-white in comparison...
This collection includes:
MARCH VIOLETS
THE PALE CRIMINAL
A GERMAN REQUIEM
Customer Reviews
Berlin noir
Convoluted but excellent. Bernie matches Smiley as an equal.
Berlín Noir
Best thriller/mistery writer on the Second World War era that I have
discovered in a long time. Up there with Alan Furst. I love the city
of Berlin and reading Kerr I feel like being right there in the middle
of the action.
