'One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written' LEE CHILD Summer 1942. When Bernie Gunther is
ordered to speak at an international police conference an old acquaintance has a favour to
ask. Little does Bernie suspect what this simple surveillance task will provoke... One year
later resurfacing from the hell of the Eastern Front a superior gives him another task that
seems straightforward: locating the father of Dalia Dresner the rising star of German cinema.
Bernie accepts the job. Not that he has much choice - the superior is Goebbels himself. But
Dresner's father hails from Yugoslavia a country so riven by sectarian horrors that even
Bernie's stomach is turned. Yet even with monsters at home and abroad one thing alone drives
him on from Berlin to Zagreb to Zurich: Bernie Gunther has fallen in love.
