March Violets

‘One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written‘ LEE CHILD Brutal ex-convicts or the Nazi elite - in Bernie Gunther‘s world it‘s hard to tell who are the real gangsters. Ex-Berlin cop and private detective Bernie Gunther has seen his share of bad guys. But when the worst guys of all are the ones running the show, it‘s much harder to stay out of their reach. Hired by a wealthy industrialist to investigate the murder of his daughter and her husband in an apparent botched robbery, Bernie soon finds himself drawn into the complex - not to mention lethal - internal politics and corruption of the Nazi party. When Hermann Goering himself calls Bernie in with a task for him that throws his existing case into a whole new light, he must weigh up his hatred of the Nazis against his desire to stay alive. Perfect for fans of Raymond Chandler and John le Carré. ********************************* PRAISE FOR PHILIP KERR ‘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 ‘One of the most memorable and original characters‘ SUNDAY TIMES ‘Bitterly, darkly funny‘ SUNDAY HERALD
