Summary

Bernie Gunther returns in the 13th book in the Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling series, perfect for fans of John le Carre and Robert Harris.

1957, Munich. Bernie Gunther's latest move in a long string of varied careers sees him working for an insurance company. It makes a kind of sense: both cops and insurance companies have a vested interest in figuring out when people are lying to them, and Bernie has a lifetime of experience to call on.

Sent to Athens to investigate a claim from a fellow German for a ship that has sunk, Bernie takes an instant dislike to the claimant. When he discovers the ship in question once belonged to a Greek Jew deported to Auschwitz, he is convinced the sinking was no accident but an avenging arson attack. Then the claimant is found dead, shot through both eyes. It's a win for Bernie's employers at least: no one to pay out to even if the claim is genuine. But who is behind the murder, and why?

Strong-armed into helping the Greek police with their investigation, Bernie is once again drawn inexorably back to the dark history of the Second World War, and the deportation of the Jews of Salonika—now Thessaloniki. As Europe seems ready to move on to a more united future with Germany as a partner rather than an enemy, at least one person in Greece is ready neither to forgive nor forget. And, deep down, Bernie thinks they may have a point.

Don’t Trust The Lawyer

So many lies. So many lawyers. Plenty of twists, turns and trouble and all wonderfully tied into true historical stories from a brutal era.

An excellent Bernie Gunther yarn.

A typical of Philip Kerr's character. Great story and full of the usual dark side to Bernie's life.... with a chink of light at the end.

Looking forward to book 14.....but unfortunately the last in Bernie's life.

Bernie is as compelling as ever

Another triumph from Philip Kerr. I’ve really enjoyed the Bernie Gunther series and for those of you that enjoy detective drama, mixed with historical fact and big slice of good old fashioned ‘gum shoe’ grit then this really is for you 👍

Another cracking story in the series

Good story from Philip Kerr intermingling history and fiction with Jonathan Keeble’s narration make this another enjoyable episode in the life of Bernie Gunther.
