Summary
Berlin, March 1943. The mood in Germany is bleak after their stunning defeat at Stalingrad. Private Investigator Bernie Gunther is at work in the German War Crimes Bureau - weary, cynical but well aware of the value of truth in a world where that's now a rarity.
When human remains are found deep in the Katyn Forest, Bernie is sent to investigate. Rumour has it that this mass grave is full of Polish officers murdered by the Russians. For Josef Goebbels, proof of Russian involvement is sure to destroy the Western Alliance, giving Germany a chance to reverse its devastating losses. But supposing the truth is far more damaging to the German cause?
It's Bernie Gunther's job to give Goebbels what he needs. But when there's nothing left for Gunther to lose, the compulsion to speak the truth becomes ever stronger....

Terrific books.
Bernie Gunther has become one of my favourite characters. So many qualities that fly in the face of the regime he reluctantly serves. Great stuff.

May just be the best Gunther
Covers the notorious Katyn Forest massacre. Superb narration throughout and gripping story. I’ve read or listened to all the Philip Kerr Gunther books, and this is probably the best one.

My favourite Bernie Gunther story to date.
The story and the narrator are both excellent. I was pleased to also be informed further about the horrific Katyn massacre, which is the back story to this novel.

jeff harding
no complaints , i had to listen to the story once more ,simply to compare the narrators . keeble is an excellent voice . but my own favourite jeff harding lends a certain seediness & undercurrent that gives the whole performance a certain laconic realisism to the volume . with either man the story is still strong enjoyable & memorable

Many twists and turns
An usual topic for a novel with lots of detail about Hitler's army and the Russians.At the centre is Bernie Gunther who is trying to conduct a police investigation. Fascinating
