About this listen

 'One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written' LEE CHILD

The war may be over, but the remnants of the Nazis are still causing trouble for Bernie Gunther - a hard-boiled noir thriller for fans of Raymond Chandler and John le Carré

In postwar Vienna, the term 'peace' is relative - the Americans, British and Russians govern the city in an uneasy truce, and the main difference is that now it's the Soviet secret police making people disappear rather than the Nazis. When Bernie is asked by a high-ranking Soviet official to clear an old Kripo colleague's name of the murder of an American officer, he quickly realises he's in over his head.

Bernie's ex-colleague Becker was working for a secret society of Nazi hunters, tracking down and executing war criminals who faked their own deaths to escape the noose at Nuremberg. Infiltrating the group, Bernie finds himself face to face with men he thought he'd never see again. They've cheated justice once - now Bernie must see that they don't get away a second time.

The pace is brisk and a believable plot makes this a very enjoyable listen. The narrator’s voice fits the lead character well.

Excellent story and narrator

a well thought out and constructed spy story from a different point of view. I would have given the narration 5 star but some were a 'little iffy'but then again how do you interpret another language in to English for different voices for narration, not easy I'm sure.

Over dramatic presentation /acting. But I listened to the end. The story overrides the acting.

Good postwar interaction.

A wonderfully paced and perfectly performed book - the Bernie Gunter series has to be the best the crime genre has to offer.
