In His Final Book, New York Times Bestselling Author Philip Kerr Treats Readers To His Beloved Hero's Origins, Exploring Bernie Gunther's First Weeks On Berlin's Murder Squad. Summer, 1928. Berlin, A City Where Nothing Is Verboten. In The Night Streets, Political Gangs Wander, Looking For Fights. Daylight Reveals A Beleaguered Populace Barely Recovering From The Postwar Inflation, Often Jobless, Reeling From The Reparations Imposed By The Victors. At Central Police Hq, The Murder Commission Has Its Hands Full. A Killer Is On The Loose, And Though He Scatters Many Clues, Each Is A Dead End. It's Almost As If He Is Taunting The Cops. Meanwhile, The Press Is Having A Field Day. This Is What Bernie Gunther Finds On His First Day With The Murder Commisson. He's Been Taken On Beacuse The People At The Top Have Noticed Him--they Think He Has The Makings Of A First-rate Detective. But Not Just Yet. Right Now, He Has To Listen And Learn. Metropolis Is A Tour Of A City In Chaos: Of Its Seedy Sideshows And Sex Clubs, Of The Underground Gangs That Run Its Rackets, And Its Bewildered Citizens--the Lost, The Homeless, The Abandoned. It Is Berlin As It Edges Toward The New World Order That Hitler Will Soo Usher In. And Bernie? He's A Quick Study And He's Learning A Lot. Including, To His Chagrin, That When Push Comes To Shove, He Isn't Much Better Than The Gangsters In Doing Whatever Her Must To Get What He Wants.
