Description

Philip Kerr provides a book using the noir feeling of Raymond Chandler, the realpolitik of classic John le Carré, and the dim ethical perspective of Graham Greene. "Bernie Gunther may be the many antiheroic of anti-heroes in this gripping, offbeat thriller. It's the tale of his battle to protect what's left of his humanity, and his life, in a global where in actuality the bandwidth is slim, satanic evil at one stop, negative expediency at another." -Philip Caputo, writer of A Rumor of War "A thriller that'll challenge expectations and promote the small gray cells." -The Changing Times (London), choosing Area Grey like a Thriller of the Entire Year "Area of the appeal of those books is that Bernie is this kind of intriguing development, a Chandleresque knight-errant captured in crazy historic environments. Bernie walks along roads therefore imply that nobody could keep alive and remain certainly clear." -John Powers, Outdoors (NPR) Bernie on Bernie: I did not like Bernhard Gunther greatly.
