After being falsely accused of war crimes, Bernie Gunther--like the Nazis he has always despised--has been offered a new life and a clean passport by the Per n government. But the tough, fast-talking ex-Berlin detective doesn't have the luxury of laying low. The local police pressure Bernie into taking on a case in which a girl has turned up gruesomely mutilated. What's more, her murder just might be linked to a missing German banker's daughter and a long-unsolved case Bernie worked back in Berlin before the war. After all, the scum of the earth has been washing up on Argentina's shores--state-licensed murderers and torturers--so why couldn't a serial killer be among them?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Kerr\u003c\/b\u003e was the\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the acclaimed Bernie Gunther novels, three of which--\u003ci\u003eField Gray\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lady from Zagreb\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePrussian Blue\u003c\/i\u003e--were finalists for the Edgar Award for Best Novel.
