The One from the Other

Resumen del libro

Bernie Gunther is the ideal narrator for Philip Kerr's bleak tale of the dirty deals made by victors and vanquished alike in post-war Germany. Having learned that there's no way to distinguish the one from the other', the cynical P.I. has the moral clarity to see through the deceit and hypocrisy of both friend and foe.

Munich, 1949: Amid the chaos of defeat, it's home to all the backstabbing intrigue that prospers in the aftermath of war. A place where a private eye can find a lot of not-quite-reputable work: cleaning up the Nazi past of well-to-do locals, abetting fugitives in the flight abroad, sorting out rival claims to stolen goods. It's work that fills Bernie with disgust but it also fills his sorely depleted wallet.

Then a woman seeks him out. Her husband has disappeared. She's not looking to get him back he's a wanted man who ran one of the most vicious concentration camps in Poland.

She just wants confirmation that he's dead. It's a simple enough job. But in post-war Germany, nothing is simple

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
