This Edgar(R) Award-nominated novel in Philip Kerr's New York Times
bestselling Bernie Gunther series reveals the cynical, hard-boiled
detective's harrowing history as an unwilling SS officer in World War
2.
During his eleven years working homicide in Berlin's Kripo, Bernie
Gunther learned a thing or two about evil. Then he set himself up as a
private detective--until 1940 when Heydrich dragooned him into the SS's

Spanning twenty-five tumultuous years, Field Gray strides across the
killing fields of Europe, landing Bernie in a divided Germany at the
height of the Cold War--revealing a treacherous world where the ends
justify the means and no one can be trusted...
