Field Gray - Philip Kerr

This Edgar Award-nominated novel in Philip Kerr’s New York Times bestselling Bernie Gunther series reveals the cynical, hard-boiled detective’s harrowing history as an unwilling SS officer in World War 2.

During his eleven years working homicide in Berlin's Kripo,
Bernie Gunther learned a thing or two about evil. Then he set himself up as a
private detective-until 1940 when Heydrich dragooned him into the SS's

Spanning twenty-five tumultuous years, Field Gray strides across
the killing fields of Europe, landing Bernie in a divided Germany at
the height of the Cold War-revealing a treacherous world where the ends justify the means and no one can be trusted...
