‘One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written’ LEE CHILD
Posing as an escaping Nazi war-criminal Bernie Gunther arrives in Buenos Aires and, having revealed his real identity to the local chief of police, discovers that his reputation as a detective goes before him.

Critics Review
One of the greatest master story-tellers in English
One of the great achievements of contemporary crime fiction…powerful and impressive - ObserverCogently plotted odyssey…cracking stuff - The TimesThe scope and breadth of Philip Kerr’s historical research, and the subtle complexity of plot structure, are worthy of Le Carre. The fast-paced, crack-a-minute delivery smacks of Chandler. The comparisons are inevitable, but Kerr parries the plaudits with ease - Irish ExaminerAbout The Author
