A Quiet Flame: A Bernie Gunther Novel | Philip Kerr

1 post | 6 read | 1 to read

Bernie Gunther returns to trail a serial killer in 1950's Buenos Aires When he introduced Bernie Gunther in the original Berlin Noir trilogy, Philip Kerr immediately established himself as a thriller writer on par with Raymond Chandler. His new Bernie Gunther novels have won him comparisons with Alan Furst, John le Carré, and Graham Greene. A Quiet Flame finds Gunther in Argentina, circa 1950, where he- falsely accused of Nazi war crimes-has been offered a new life and a clean passport by the Perón government. But the tough, fast-talking detective doesn't have the luxury of laying low when a serial killer- whose crimes may reach back to Berlin before the war-is mutilating young girls. Taut, gritty, and loaded with evocative historical detail, A Quiet Flame is among Kerr's best work yet.

A Quiet Flame: A Bernie Gunther Novel | Philip Kerr

pick

This is the 5th Bernie Gunther book, and he arrives in Buenos Aires, along with a number of other Nazis trying to escape persecution. He has been falsely named as one. Here is investigates a number which has similarities to an unsolved murder in Berlin in 1932. I do like this series, it also serves for me a lesson in history as I didn't really know much about Argentina and it's secret past with regards the Jews.
