Another pre-goodreads book i liked ( ) Another excellent story populated with real figures from Nazi Germany including Heydrich. The level of detail about life in Berlin, locations and leading Nazis reads like a contemporary record. Bernie is running a private detective agency and is hired by a rich widow whose daughter has gone missing. This leads him to a sophisticated anti-Jewish plot and contact with Heydrich and Himmler. This is the second book of the Bernie Gunther series, and the second one I've read. Bernie Gunther is a private investigator in Germany during the time of Hitlers rise to power. He was a former criminal investigator for the German police, and seems to know a lot of people. He's not afraid to speak his mind, even when criticizing the Nazis, which he does often, or speaking up for the Jews. Basically, he seems to not be intimidated easily, and his usual answer to threats is a wisecrack. I enjoyed this book more than the first one, perhaps because I got to know the main characters a little better. Again, I chose the audiobook version, by the same narrator. This time I was able to follow the story better than the first one, possibly because I was ready for the multiple plots that seem to be normal for these books.
El antiguo policía Bernie Gunther creía que ya lo había visto todo en las calles de Berlín de los años treinta. Pero cuando dejó el cuerpo para convertirse en detective privado, cada nuevo caso lo iba hundiendo un poco más en los horribles excesos de la subcultura nazi. Después de la guerra, en medio del esplendor imperial y decadente de Viena, Bernie incluso llega a poner al descubierto un legado que, en comparación, convierte las atrocidades cometidas en época de guerra en un juego de niños...

Hailed by Salman Rushdie as a "brilliantly innovative thriller-writer," Philip Kerr is the creator of taut, gripping, noir-tinged mysteries that are nothing short of spellbinding. In this second book of the Berlin Noir trilogy, The Pale Criminal brings back Bernie Gunther, an ex-policeman who thought he'd seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin--until he turned freelance and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture. Hard-hitting, fast-paced, and richly detailed, The Pale Criminal is noir writing at its blackest and best. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
