Résumé:
Germany, 1949: Amid the chaos of defeat, it's a place of
dirty deals, rampant greed, fleeing Nazis, and all the intrigue
and deceit readers have come to expect from this immensely
talented thriller writer. In
The One from the Other, Hitler's legacy lives on. For
Bernie Gunther, Berlin has become too dangerous, and he now
works as a private detective in Munich. Business is slow and
his funds are dwindling when a woman hires him to investigate
her husband's disappearance. No, she doesn't want him back-he's
a war criminal. She merely wants confirmation that he is dead.
It's a simple job, but in postwar Germany, nothing is
simple-nothing is what it appears to be. Accepting the
case,Bernie takes on far more than he'd bargained for, and
before long, he is on the run, facing enemies from every
side.
