The Pale Criminal (2005)
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 tho...
Berlin Noir: March Violets / The Pale Criminal / A German Requiem (1993)
Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact (including dust cover, if applicable). The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels.Some of o...
The One from the Other (2006)
Philip Kerr’s Berlin Noir trilogy—featuring the tough, fast-talking, noirish detective Bernie Gunther—is a publishing phenomenon that continues to win new fans more than fifteen years after its initial publication.

Nazies en de opkomst van Hitler maken alles heel moeilijk. Ook de jodenvervolging start in deze tijd. In Argentinië i...
Une douce flamme (2010)
I was reading the Bernie Gunther series by the year the books are set in, and then Philip Kerr messed up my attempted timeline with two books that sneakily combined prewar and postwar plots. First, "The One From the Other" (book #4 in the series) turned out to have an intro section set in 1937, w...
