A German Requiem by Philip Kerr

A German Requiem by Philip Kerr

A novel featuring Bernie Gunther, the private eye hero of "March Violets" and "The Pale Criminal". World War II ends and Bernie gets involved in the murky world of postwar cold war intrigue. The plot concerns various ex-Nazis who save their skins by working for US intelligence.

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.
