Latest and last of the very enjoyable Bernie
Gunther series, it takes place in 1928 Berlin. Kerr uses a framework of German cinema
for this murder mystery, specifically Metropolis
and other Fritz Lang films, but Bernie’s struggle to stay honest and free of political
pressures as he solves the case is once again a fundamental component of the plot.
Like the other books in the series, it is historically accurate, Bernie is flawed,
but good, and no one gets out unscathed. Wish there were going to be more. Thank
you Mr. Kerr.
