johnny9fingersSo I bought the new Philip Kerr Bernie Gunther novel yesterday.
Pretty good, rather than as extraordinarily brilliant as the first three collected together in the 'Berlin Noir' compendium: but I don't think it will appeal to our American chums much, as they are cast as, if not the villains, at least not the heroes, in a pretty definite way. Mind you the Soviets, French, and Brits don't come out of it much better: nor do the majority of Germans. Oh well, there's humans for you.
