Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Over the course of seven previous novels, we have got to know Kerr's Berlin policeman Bernie Gunther rather well. Here we revisit the investigator's chequered wartime past.
In 1941, fresh from the horrors of the Eastern Front, Gunther returns to his old desk on Homicide. But rather than work on ordinary murders, he's summoned by the Reichsprotector Heydrich to spend a weekend at his Prague castle.
The visit kicks off with the discovery of the body of a young flunky in a locked bedroom. The Teutonic gloom lifts with the arrival of Fraulein Tauber, Gunther's shapely new squeeze.
