Synopsis
Detective Bernie Gunther navigates two corrupt regimes in this “richly satisfying mystery … that evokes the noir sensibilities of Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald while breaking new ground of its own” (Los Angeles Times).
Berlin, 1934. Former policeman Bernie Gunther, now a hotel detective, finds himself caught between warring factions of the Nazi apparatus as Hitler and Avery Brundage, the head of the U.S. Olympic Committee, connive to soft-pedal Nazi anti-Semitism before the 1936 Olympiad …
Havana, 1954. Batista, aided by the CIA, has just seized power; Castro is in prison; and the American Mafia is gaining a stranglehold on Cuba’s exploding gaming and prostitution industries. Bernie, after being kicked out of Buenos Aires, has resurfaced with a relatively peaceful new life.
But he discovers that he cannot truly outrun his past when he collides with an old love and a vicious killer from his Berlin days …
