Publisher Description

The best-selling author of 20 novels, Philip Kerr has won a devoted following-and there are none more ardent than those who devour his Bernie Gunther series. In 1934, Bernie found himself in Berlin, where he was caught up in intrigue surrounding Hitler, America, and the upcoming Olympiad. Two decades later, Bernie surfaces in Havana. But an old associate has appeared there as well-and might spell trouble of a decidedly deadly nature.

"Bernie Guenther gets thrown out of Argentina after having to leave Germany after the war. He ends up in Havana with some of the same troubles he had in trying to prevent the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Well written. A cynical detective like those of Furst and Graham Greene."

    " Pity this book could have been so much better. I looked forward to yet another Gunther book and it started really well. Without giving much away, the first part of the book is good and is almost worth a separate book and left there which to give the second part a horrible death. The second part really just didn't need to be added. "

    " Back in 1934, shortly after being ejected from the KRIPO by incoming NAZIS, Bernie Gunther was hanging on in Berlin as a hotel detective at the Adlon. A beautiful American reporter got him involved in investigating the crooked construction of the Olympic stadium and the NAZI takeover of sports, as well as a cover-up to save her life. Now, it's 1954 and Bernie is attempting to live quietly in Havana when not only the dame and her daughter, but a ferocious American gangster and Cuban rebels surface with old secrets and new schemes. These are virtually perfect Noir pieces, from the smartass, weary first-person narration to the grey moral world. "

    " I love the character of Gunther. This one seemed a little less than the other books. The ending of this one seemed especially lame and predictable. Still 4 stars for the quips and morally complex Gunther. "

    " Bernie Gunther in Berlin and then in Havana. Interesting, but easy to figure out. Fun, and good writing, perhaps too much that it detracts from the story this time. "

    " Another fine book in the Bernie Gunther series. This one starts with an incident in 1934 before he became a private dick, and moved to his current 1954 situation in Cuba. A very good read, a nice twist and more background information about Bernie. I love this series. "
