The third in the late Philip Kerr's universally acclaimed Berlin
Noir trilogy, A German Requiem sees detective Bernie Gunther enter
the new and terrifying world of post-war Vienna. In the bitter
winter of 1947 the Russian Zone is closing ever more tightly around
Berlin. So when an enigmatic Russian colonel asks Bernie Gunther to
go to Vienna, where his ex-Kripo colleague Emil Becker faces a
murder charge, Bernie doesn't hesitate for long. Despite Becker's
unsavoury past, Gunther is convinced that shooting an American
Nazi-hunter is one crime he didn't commit. But Vienna is not the
peaceful haven Bernie expects it to be. Communism is the new enemy,
and with the Nuremberg trials over, some strange alliances are
being forged against the Red Menace - alignments that make many
wartime atrocities look lily-white by comparison. Vividly evoking
the atmosphere of postwar Vienna, A Germen Requiem brings all
Philip Kerr's pace and mordant wit to the tangle of guilt,
suspicion, and double-dealing that laid the foundations for the
Cold War. 'For Christmas, I would like all of Philip Kerr's Berlin
Noir novels' Sam Mendes, Guardian 'Philip Kerr is the contemporary
master of the morally complex thriller' New York Observer
