The Lady From Zagreb by Philip Kerr is a gripping WWII-era thriller featuring Bernie Gunther, the cynical ex-Berlin cop turned reluctant Nazi fixer. When Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels demands a personal favour, Bernie is drawn into a dark and dangerous world of political manipulation and brutal secrets.
Tasked with tracking down a beautiful actress for Goebbels—an UFA film star and rising icon—Bernie’s mission takes him from the glamour of Nazi Berlin to the war-ravaged landscape of Croatia. There, among the horrors committed by the Ustaše regime, Bernie must navigate deadly betrayals, hidden agendas, and a tangled web of lies.
Sharp, atmospheric, and unflinchingly honest, this is historical crime fiction at its finest.
