Bernie Gunther had his first brush with evil as a policeman in 1930s Berlin and came to know it intimately as a private eye under the Nazis, when each case drew him deeper into the enormities of the regime. Now the war is over and Gunther is in Vienna, trying to clear an old friend of the murder of an American officer. Amid decaying imperial splendour, he traces sprials of depravity that lead him to a former head of the Gestapo.

Story
America, 1960. In Washington, DC, John F. Kennedy has just been elected president. In Havana, Fidel Castro has been in office for a year, and with Cold War tensions rapidly heating up and the Soviets leading the space race, the thought of a Communist leader so close to home is already raising American blood pressure. Anti-Communist fever is rampant in the USA, with a paranoid establishment seeing reds under every bed. Nevertheless, the decision to snuff out the threat of Castro by hiring Tom Jefferson, America's best assassin, to kill him comes from an unusual quarter: the Mafia.

An excellent book
Philip Kerr writes fine thrillers, and this is one of his best.
The genre is what you might term a 'noir thriller' typified best perhaps by Raymond Chandler, but what gives the book its spice and bite is that the story is set in post-war central Europe. The formula works really well, and the author skillfully weaves into the plot the thread of moral ambivalence that must have characterised the times in that part of the world. The characters are well drawn, and Philip Kerr works in very plausible references to real life villains such as Eichmann. The central character, Bernie Gunther, is not painted as a perfect human being, which I think greatly adds to the story, which is meticulously plotted, written with great pace and verve, and put in a fascinating and interesting historical context.
Narration by Jeff Harding is well judged and paced and greatly enhances the listening pleasure.
Incidentally, this is the fourth book in a sequence (but can be easily read on its own).
Strongly recommended.

Post war shadowy nightmare.
Bernie Gunther is no man's fool - he knows there are evils that haunt post war Germany ... he was after all in the SS even though he was transferred to the Russian front as he wouldn't be complicit with mass murderers. He's a good ex-SS man and he knows that beneath the surface of his conquered nation there lies living proof of it's ghastly past. Philip Kerr has the magic of Jo Nesbo to be able to tell a story and suddenly surprise the reader by taking the plot off at a tangent. Just when you sigh and relax feeling Bernie Gunter has resolved a problem the writer takes us off in another direction and accelerates leaving us holding onto our hero's coattail. An added bonus is the no nonsense voice of Jeff Harding who brings life and a bucketful of hard bitten gravel to the character.

One of the best in an excellent series
What did you like most about The One from the Other?
As usual the historical issues woven into the story line are fascinating and informative; shockingly so, especially complicity of the CIA post war and the Catholic Church. The horrors of the camps in Poland/Ukraine are well known but probably not in such detail to most readers
What did you like best about this story?
There was genuine excitement
Which character – as performed by Jeff Harding – was your favourite?
No special favourite character as he gets into the skin of most very well. A great reader.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Several but it would be plot spoiling to answer. (I think this question should be removed from the Audible template)

Another great listen in post war germany
I enjoyed this to. It is interesting observing the different levels of corruptness across the book from the butler, to the CIA and the real nazis. All steps on a way. Bit too many dead bodies in Vienna i dont think added much to the plot. The rest was fantastic.
