Greeks Bearing Gifts | Philip Kerr
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
A vicious murder puts Bernie Gunther on the trail of World War 2 criminals in Greece in this riveting historical thriller in Philip Kerr's New York Times bestselling series. Munich, 1956. Bernie Gunther has a new name, a chip on his shoulder, and a dead-end career when an old friend arrives to repay a debt and encourages "Christoph Ganz" to take a job as a claims adjuster in a major German insurance company with a client in Athens, Greece. Under the cover of his new identity, Bernie begins to investigate a claim by Siegfried Witzel, a brutish former Wehrmacht soldier who served in Greece during the war. Witzel's claimed losses are large , and, even worse, they may be the stolen spoils of Greek Jews deported to Auschwitz. But when Bernie tries to confront Witzel, he finds that someone else has gotten to him first, leaving a corpse in his place. Enter Lieutenant Leventis, who recognizes in this case the highly grotesque style of a killer he investigated during the height of the war. Back then, a young Leventis suspected an S.S. officer whose connection to the German government made him untouchable. He's kept that man's name in his memory all these years, waiting for his second chance at justice... Working together, Leventis and Bernie hope to put their cases--new and old--to bed. But there's a much more sinister truth to acknowledge: A killer has returned to Athens...one who may have never left.

I am really loving this book so far! I definitely like it way more than Panda likes her e-collar.

LibrarianRyan what is an e collar. Is it like a cone of shame? 5y
DGRachel Oh no! Not an e-collar! Bailey is hating life in her cone of shame, but she had to have a real cone to keep her away from her feet. I hope Panda's time in the collar is very short! 5y
j.rye @LibrarianRyan yes! E-collar is short for Elizabethan Collar because they look similar to them. 🤣 I learned that at the vet last week! She has such a fat neck that the cone was too deep for her to function, so she gets an inflatable e-collar. 5y
j.rye @DGRachel she only has a few days left thankfully! But she‘s starting to like it. She uses it as a pillow and falls asleep sitting up. 🤣 5y
LibrarianRyan @j.rye hummm. Interesting 5y
