A German Requiem by Philip Kerr

5.0

By far the best of the three. Set in the destroyed post war cities of Berlin and Vienna, the Russians and Americans are vying for control, spying on each other and using Nazi war criminals to their advantage. In the midst of it all Bernie does what he does best; tries to solve a murder and falls for the wrong dame.

Much less "noir" than the previous two, this is more political thriller. The plot genuinely fizzes and the setting is absolutely perfect.
