It's 1954 and Bernie has tired of his increasingly dangerous work spying on Meyer Lansky for Cuban Intelligence. He secretly buys a boat and sails to Florida, where he's arrested, sent back to Cuba and imprisoned in the Isle of Pines. There he meets Castro, and a French intelligence officer, Thibaud, who liaises between the CIA and French intelligence.
Exhaustively questioned by Thibaud, Bernie finds himself flown back to Berlin and another prison cell with a proposition: work for the French or hang for murder. Bernie's job is simple: to meet and greet POWs returning from Germany. One of these is Edgard de Boudel, a French war criminal and member of the French SS, who has been posing as a German Wehrmacht officer.
The French are anxious to catch up with this man and deal with him in their own ruthless way. But Bernie's past as a German POW in Russia is about to catch up with him in a way he could never have foreseen.

Cada título de la serie es una lección de un meticuloso experto en la República de Weimar, el Tercer Reich y la posguerra, y también un relato lleno de aventuras, humor negro y réplicas dignas de su admirado Philip Marlowe.x{0026}lt;/p x{0026}lt;p Ganador del Premio RBA de Novela Policiaca en 2009 por x{0026}lt;em Si los muertos no resucitanx{0026}lt;/em , también firmó diversos thrillers más allá de la serie Bernie Gunther, comox{0026}lt;em Plegarias, El arte del crimen, La paz de Hitler, Esaú, Una investigación filosóficax{0026}lt;/em ox{0026}lt;em Mercado de invierno.x{0026}lt;/em x{0026}lt;/p
