Description

"Each time weare scared we've seen the final of Bernie Gunther, Philip Kerr comes through." -The Brand New York Times Book Review Praised as "among the best number of crime novels on the planet" (El Pais, Spain), Philip Kerris Bernie Gunther novels continue steadily to garner wonderful recognition both here and overseas. This time around, it is 1954 and Bernie has resurfaced in Havana. Life is fairly calm, however the world-weary ex-policeman finds that he can't outrun his past when he collides by having an old fan-and a horrible monster-from his life in Berlin. Switching between your showy problem of Batista's Cuba and Nazi Germany throughout the build-up for the 1936 Olympiad, When the Lifeless Increase Not is another spectacular exemplory instance of Kerr's virtuoso expertise.
