β¦ Synopsis
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. In this second book of the Berlin Noir trilogy, The Pale Criminal brings back Bernie Gunther, an ex-policeman who thought heβd seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlinβuntil 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, The Pale Criminal is noir writing at its blackest and best.
Review
"...a superb tour of Berlin on the edge of an abyss and a cynical, dashing leading man. βSt. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Echoes of Raymond Chandler but better on his vivid and well-researched detail than the master." βEvening Standard

**Philip Kerr delivers a novel with the noir sensibility of Raymond Chandler, the realpolitik of vintage John le CarrΓ©, and the dark moral vision of Graham Greene.** "Bernie Gunther is the most antiheroic of antiheroes in this gripping, offbeat thriller. It's the story of his struggle to preserve w
