Bernie Gunther returns in the thirteenth book in the Sunday Times
and New York Times bestselling series, perfect for fans of John le
Carre and Robert Harris. 'One of the greatest anti-heroes ever
written' LEE CHILD 'Kerr leads us through the facts of history and
the vagaries of human nature' TOM HANKS 'One of the greatest master
story-tellers in English' ALAN FURST 1957, Munich. Bernie Gunther's
latest move in a string of varied careers sees him working for an
insurance company. It makes a kind of sense: both cops and
insurance companies have a vested interest in figuring out when
people are lying to them, and Bernie has a lifetime of experience
to call on. Sent to Athens to investigate a claim from a fellow
German for a sunken ship, Bernie takes an instant dislike to the
claimant. When he discovers the ship in question once belonged to a
Greek Jew deported to Auschwitz, he is convinced the sinking was no
accident but an act of vengeance. And so Bernie is once again drawn
inexorably back to the dark history of the Second World War, and
the deportation of the Jews of Salonika - now Thessaloniki. As
Europe prepares to move on to a more united future with Germany as
a partner rather than an enemy, at least one person in Greece is
ready neither to forgive nor forget. And, deep down, Bernie thinks
they may have a point.
