Klappentext Munich! 1949: Amid the chaos of defeat! it is home to all the backstabbing intrigue that prospers in the aftermath of war. A place where a private eye can find a lot of not-quite-reputable work: cleaning up the Nazi past of well-to-do locals! abetting fugitives in the flight abroad! sorting out rival claims to stolen goods. It is work that fills Bernie Gunther! the cynical P.I.! with disgust - but it also fills his sorely depleted wallet. Then a woman seeks him out. Her husband has disappeared. She's not looking to get him back - he's a wanted man who ran one of the most vicious concentration camps in Poland. She just wants confirmation that he's dead. It's a simple enough job. But in post-war Germany! nothing is simple... Zusammenfassung Bernie Gunther, the iconoclastic private-eye, is the ideal narrator for Philip Kerr's bleak tale of the dirty deals made by victors and vanquished alike in post-war Germany in the fourth book in this internationally bestselling series
