β¦ Synopsis
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 CarrΓ©, 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 PerΓ³n 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.
