March Violets

Ex-policeman Bernie Gunther thought he’d seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin - until he turned freelance and he is sucked further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture. The year is 1936 and Berlin is preparing for the Olympic Games. Some of Bernie’s Jewish friends are beginning to realise that they should have left while they could; and Bernie himself has been hired by a wealthy industrialist to investigate two murders that reach high into the Nazi Party. Hard-hitting fast-paced and richly detailed March Violets is noir writing at its best and blackest.
