About this listen

 Hailed by Salman Rushdie as a "brilliantly innovative thriller-writer", Philip Kerr is the creator of taut, gripping, noir-tinged mysteries that are nothing short of spellbinding.

In this second book of the Berlin Noir trilogy, The Pale Criminal brings back Bernie Gunther, an ex-policeman who thought he'd seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin - until he turned freelance, and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture.

Hard-hitting, fast-paced, and richly detailed, The Pale Criminal is noir writing at its blackest and best.

What the critics say

"A superb tour of Berlin on the edge of an abyss and a cynical, dashing leading man." ( St. Louis Dispatch)
"Echoes of Raymond Chandler but better on his vivid and well-researched detail than the master." ( Evening Standard)

Very disturbing!

I found this story very disturbing. Very well written. I am a daughter of Holocaust survivors. Enough said.
