Description
It's 1954 and Bernie Gunther has had enough of his line of work. Tired of spying on notorious figures like Meyer Lansky, he quits his job and heads to Cuba, where he acquires a boat and a beautiful companion. But the US Navy has other plans, and soon Bernie finds himself back in a prison cell, with a proposition from French intelligence: work for them or hang for murder.
Bernie's task is to meet and greet POWs returning to Germany, and to look out for a French war criminal who's been posing as a German Wehrmacht officer. But Bernie's past is about to catch up with him in ways he never could have foreseen. Set against the backdrop of Cuba, a Soviet POW camp, Paris, and Berlin, over a period of twenty years from the Thirties to the Fifties, Field Grey is a gripping thriller that showcases Philip Kerr's mastery of the genre.
