A Philosophical Investigation by Philip Kerr

A Philosophical Investigation by Philip Kerr

A terrifyingly prescient cult classic by the bestselling author of the Bernie Gunther series.

Chilling.absorbing.part techno-thriller, part futuristic detective story, part diary of a serial killer.--The New York Times Book Review

LONDON, 2013. Serial killings have reached epidemic proportions--even with the widespread government use of DNA detection, brain-imaging, and the punitive coma. Beautiful, whip-smart, and driven by demons of her own, Detective Isadora Jake Jacowicz must stop a murderer, code-named Wittgenstein, who has taken it upon himself to eliminate any man who has tested posi­tive for a tendency towards violent behavior--even if his victim has never committed a crime. He is a killer whose intellectual brilliance is matched only by his homicidal madness.

Philip Kerr was born in Edinburgh and read Law at university. He stayed on to read Law and Philosophy as a postgraduate, most of this German, which was when he first became interested in German twentieth century history.

He worked first as a copywriter at a number of advertising agencies, including Saatchi & Saatchi, but spent most of his time researching an idea he'd had for a novel about a Berlin-based policeman. And following several trips to Germany - and a great deal of walking around mean streets of Berlin - his first novel, March Violets, was published in 1989 and introduced the world to the iconic tough-talking detective Bernie Gunther.

Since then he has written and published ten universally lauded Bernie Gunther novels, and is currently working on his eleventh. He has won both the RBA International Prize for Crime Writing, and the CWA Ellis Peters Historic Crime Award.
