Prussian Blue

One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written LEE CHILD

France, 1956. Bernie Gunther is on the run. If theres one thing hes learned, its never to refuse a job from a high-ranking secret policeman. But this is exactly what hes just done. Now hes a marked man, with the East German Stasi on his tail.

Fleeing across Europe, he remembers the last time he worked with his pursuer: in 1939, to solve a murder at the Berghof, Hitlers summer hideaway in the Bavarian Alps. Hitler is long dead, the Berghof now a ruined shell, and the bizarre time Bernie spent there should be no more than a distant memory.

But as he pushes on to Berlin and safety, Bernie will find that no matter how far he thinks he has put Nazi Germany behind him, for him it will always be unfinished business. The Berghof is not done with Bernie yet.

Perfect for fans of Raymond Chandler and John le Carré.
