From New York Times best-selling creator Philip Kerr, the much anticipated come back of Bernie Gunther in a series hailed by The Daily Beast as "the best crime novels around today". Once I'd been a good detective in Kripo, but that was a while ago, before the crooks wore smart grey uniforms and almost everyone locked up was innocent. Being a Berlin cop in 1942 was similar to adding down mousetraps in a cage packed with tigers. The war is over. Bernie Gunther, our sardonic ex - Berlin homicide detective and unwilling SS official, is now living on the French Riviera. It is 1956, and Bernie is the go-to guy at the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, the man you decide on for touring tips or if you need a fourth for bridge. As it happens, an area writer needs that - you to definitely fill up the fourth couch in a normal game that is the usual evening diversion at the Villa Mauresque. Not just any writer. Perhaps the richest & most famous living copy writer on the globe: W. Somerset Maugham. And as it happens it isn't just a bridge partner that he needs; it's some professional advice. Maugham is being blackmailed - perhaps because of his unorthodox lifestyle. Or perhaps because of something in his former, because once upon a period, Maugham did the trick for the English magic formula service, and people now blackmailing him are spies. As Gunther fans know, all highways lead back again to the viper's nest that was Hitler's Third Reich also to the killing fields that spread such as a disease across Europe. Even in 1956, calmness has not come to the continent: Now the Soviets contain the H-bomb, and spies from every major power feel absolve to make all of Europe their personal playground.
