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. |
About the AuthorPhilip Kerr is the author of many novels, but perhaps most important are the five featuring Bernie Gunther--"A Quiet Flame," "The One from the Other," and the Berlin Noir trilogy ("March Violets," "The Pale Criminal," and "A German Requiem"). He lives in London and Cornwall, England, with his family. Reviews."..a superb tour of Berlin on the edge of an abyss and a cynical, dashing leading man. --St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Echoes of Raymond Chandler but better on his vivid and well-researched detail than the master." --Evening Standard
