Description
A supremely disturbing thriller set in the ruins of the Third Reich by an internationally acclaimed master of historical suspense.
Bernie Gunther had his first brush with evil as a policeman in 1930s Berlin and came to know it intimately as a private eye under the Nazis, when each case drew him deeper into the enormities of the regime. Now the war is over and Gunther’s in Vienna, trying to clear an old friend of the murder of an American officer. Amid decaying imperial splendor he traces concentric circles of depravity that lead him to a former head of the Gestapo.
Gripping, frightening, and pungently atmospheric, A German Requiem demonstrates Philip Kerr’s power to take his listeners hostage.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Kerr has the talent to....take you places you have never been." (The Washington Post Book World)
“Echoes of Raymond Chandler but better on his vivid and well-researched detail than the master.” (Evening Standard, London)

Post-War Berlin and Vienna Life and Death
#Audible1
In this third part of the Berlin Noir Trilogy the war is over, but not its effects. Berlin and Vienna are under the control of the four Powers, although Bernie Gunther muses about why the French deserve such status. Prostitution and the black market are the only thriving businesses. The authors description of the bleakness of the two cities and the hopelessness of the inhabitants is moving. As usual historical events make up an important part of the background scenery; the Berlin Airlift, Nazis in hiding, double-agents, the making of a feature film in Vienna (The third man) are all woven into the plot. The introduction of real people into the story is done brilliantly.
