The Lady from Zagreb by Philip Kerr


Oh, those lips; oh!, those eyes.  You just know she’s going to do him wrong.

Who?, Bernie Gunther, of course.

Bernie’s a private shamus in the noir mold of Chandler and my more recent favorite, Robert Parker.  Except it’s 1943 and he’s been co-opted by the Nazis to work for an SS General.

This is now the tenth book in The Berlin Noir series, and it’s Kerr’s best yet: hefty at 400+ pages, and Kerr is now showing mastery of the noir genre.
