Never before published in the UK: a gripping, masterful alternative history thriller from the author of the Bernie Gunther novelsA
rich and intricately plotted thriller. While one can't help wishing there were more Bernie adventures to comfort us, this is a welcome gift and a
testament to the storytelling panache of one of
Britain's great thriller writersWith his
trademark wit, Kerr creates
believable characters and a
compelling storyline, examining the psychology and morality of war.
