The first of the classic Berlin Noir mysteries—now in a evocative new package
|
Hailed by Salman Rushdie as a “brilliantly innovative thriller-writer,” Philip Kerr is the creator of taut, gripping, noir-tinged mysteries that are nothing short of spellbinding. The first book of the Berlin Noir trilogy, March Violets introduces readers to Bernie Gunther, an ex-policeman who thought he’d seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin—until he turned freelance and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture. Hard-hitting, fast-paced, and richly detailed, March Violets is noir writing at its blackest and best. "Echoes of Raymond Chandler but better on his vivid and well-researched detail than the master." —Evening Standard "Taut, brutal, coarse, believable and gripping stuff." —Sunday Telegraph "Kerr’s complex intrigue allows space for brilliantly provoking political asides." —Sunday Times |
