About this listen
As Berlin prepares for the 1936 Olympic Games, Bernie is caught between violently opposing factions in a story that comes full circle in 1950s Cuba.
Berlin 1934. The Nazis have been in power for just 18 months but already Germany has seen some frightening changes. As the city prepares to host the 1936 Olympics, Jews are being expelled from all German sporting organisations - a blatant example of discrimination.
Forced to resign as a homicide detective with Berlin's Criminal Police, Bernie is now house detective at the famous Adlon Hotel. Two bodies are found - one a businessman and the other a Jewish boxer. As Bernie digs to unearth the truth, he discovers a vast labour and construction racket designed to take advantage of the huge sums the Nazis are spending to showcase the new Germany to the world. It is a plot that finds its dramatic and violent conclusion 20 years later in pre-revolutionary Cuba.

Stories with a difference
So much more than an average thriller. Evocative of its time and thought provoking. Excellent

Wasn't sure to start with.....
Jonathan Keeble had a very difficult act to follow as the new narrator of Bernie Gunthers continued escapades. I found the first few chapters difficult to build my picture of Gunther simply because the narrator had changed. However, I stuck with it and was glad I did. An older more bitter man appeared but with the black humour still Intact. Philip Kerr weaves Bernie though the late 1950's in Cuba with flash backs to the war and his unsavoury past... A great story and one that ends with a surprise or two. Nothing though you can't begin to work out yourself. Enjoyable yarn. 👍😊

Another Top Notch Thriller
Bernie Gunter is the greatest character in modern detective fiction and this is another flawless, fascinating, story.

Not one of his best.
I think there were some fairly unbelievable plot lines here which coupled with a huge mass of frankly inane and sometimes silly descriptive phrases for various pieces of peoples anatomy, furniture and such like made for my least enjoyable Bernie Gunther series. I’ve now read six and will persevere.

Another brilliant book in the series
Really good narration by Jonathon Keeble
As I lived in Berlin the places in the book had more meaning and I could visualise it all
