Lambda Literary Award Finalist: A young Irishman finds love and
danger in the shadows of Weimar Germany. Francis Bacon has never
cared much for country living, so he is overjoyed when his father
sends him to Berlin as punishment for his not-so-innocent
flirtations with the other boys at school. With afternoons at the
cinema, dinner at the Hotel Adlon, and nights at the most
outrageous cabarets in Germany-and in his uncle Lastings's
bed-he'll fit right in. The Great War having ended over a decade
ago, and its resulting economic turmoil in the past, Germany is
enjoying the "Golden Twenties"-a time of healthy fiscal growth, and
creative and sexual resurgence, centered in Berlin. Yet dark clouds
are gathering as Hitler consolidates power within the Nazi Party
and brownshirts march through the streets. As tensions rise,
Francis finds his uncle Lastings busy welcoming countless men into
his hotel room-some invited for pleasure, others to be recruited
for the fight against Bolshevism. But when the Nazis send Lastings
fleeing for his life, Francis is left alone, penniless, and hunted,
with only his keen sense of hedonism to distract him from a city
that gets more menacing every night. Nights in Berlin is the 4th
book in the Francis Bacon Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the
series in any order.
