Publisher's Summary

Berlin Detective Bernie Gunther bows out at last in the 14th and final book of the Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling series. With an introduction by Ian Rankin. 

Berlin, 1928, the height of the Weimar Republic. Bernie is a young detective working in Vice when he asked to investigate the Silesian Station killings: four prostitutes murdered in as many weeks, and in the same gruesome manner. 

Bernie hardly has time to acquaint himself with the case files before another murder occurs. Until now, no one has shown much interest in these victims—there are plenty in Berlin who'd like the streets washed clean of such degenerates. But this time, the girl's father runs Berlin's foremost criminal ring, and he's prepared to go to extreme lengths to find his daughter's killer. 

It seems that someone is determined to rid Berlin of anyone less than perfect. The voice of Nazism is becoming a roar that threatens to drown out all others. But not Bernie Gunther's....

A fitting epitaph

The late, great, Phillip Kerr's last book is also the last in the brilliant Bernie Gunther series. Set in the 1920s, just as the Nazis are starting to emerge as a serious political force in Germany, Kerr takes us back to Bernie's beginnings at the Kripo. There is the usual mix of real-life characters that are intrinsic to the story, alongside a cracking plot and Bernie's "origin" story make this unmissable. sadly, Phillip Kerr will be much missed.
