The third in the late Philip Kerrs universally acclaimed Berlin Noir trilogy, A German Requiem sees detective Bernie Gunther enter the new and terrifying world of postwar 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 exKripo colleague Emil Becker faces a murder charge, Bernie doesnt hesitate for long. Despite Beckers unsavoury past, Gunther is convinced that shooting an American Nazihunter is one crime he didnt 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 lilywhite by comparison.Vividly evoking the atmosphere of postwar Vienna, A Germen Requiem brings all Philip Kerrs pace and mordant wit to the tangle of guilt, suspicion, and doubledealing that laid the foundations for the Cold War.For Christmas, I would like all of Philip Kerrs Berlin Noir novels Sam Mendes, GuardianPhilip Kerr is the contemporary master of the morally complex thriller New York Observer
