Berlin Noir – Philip Kerrs phantastische Thrillertrilogie aus der deutschen Vergangenheit
In seiner Berlin-Trilogie um den Privatdetektiv Bernhard Gunther gelingt es Philip Kerr, die schmutzig-dustere Atmosphare des Dritten Reichs und der Berliner Nachkriegszeit in der Form eines spannenden Kriminalromans heraufzubeschworen. Geschickt verwebt er die historischen Ereignisse und Protagonisten mit seinen Kriminalgeschichten – eine atemberaubende Mischung.

The third in the late Philip Kerr's universally acclaimed Berlin Noir trilogy, A German Requiem sees detective Bernie Gunther enter the new and terrifying world of post-war Vienna.
In the bitter winter of 1947 the Russian Zone is closing ever more tightly around Berlin. So when an enigmatic Russian colonel asks Bernie Gunther to go to Vienna, where his ex-Kripo colleague Emil Becker faces a murder charge, Bernie doesn't hesitate for long. Despite Becker's unsavoury past, Gunther is convinced that shooting an American Nazi-hunter is one crime he didn't commit.
But Vienna is not the peaceful haven Bernie expects it to be. Communism is the new enemy, and with the Nuremberg trials over, some strange alliances are being forged against the Red Menace - alignments that make many wartime atrocities look lily-white by comparison.
Vividly evoking the atmosphere of postwar Vienna, A Germen Requiem brings all Philip Kerr's pace and mordant wit to the tangle of guilt, suspicion, and double-dealing that laid the foundations for the Cold War.

The second in the late Philip Kerr's iconic 'Berlin Noir' trilogy, The Pale Criminal sees detective Bernie Gunther return to hunt one of the most evil killers in human history.
It is 1938 and Bernie Gunther is back on the mean streets of Berlin with his new partner, Bruno Stahlecker, another ex-police officer. But on a seemingly straightforward stakeout, Bruno is killed, and Bernie suddenly finds himself tapped for a much bigger job.
A serial sex murderer is killing Aryan teenage girls in Berlin - and what's worse, he's making utter fools of the police. Gunther is forced to accept a temporary post in Obergruppenfuehrer Reinhard Heydrich's state Security Service, with a team of men underneath him tasked purely with hunting the killer.
But can he trust his team any more than he can trust his superiors?
An unflinching, fast-paced thriller exploring the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture, The Pale Criminal will be loved by fans of Robert Harris and Frederick Forsythe.

Discover the first crime novel in the late Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther series - Berlin Noir - set in Hitler's Germany during the 1930s . . .
Winter, 1936. A man and his wife shot dead in their bed, their home burned. The woman's father, a millionaire industrialist, wants justice - and the priceless diamonds that disappeared along with his daughter's life. He turns to Bernhard Gunther, a private eye and former cop.
As Bernie follows the trail into the very heart of Nazi Germany, he's forced to confront a horrifying conspiracy. A trail that ends in the hell that is Dachau . . .
Stylishly written and powerfully evocative, Kerr's crime classic transports readers to the rotten heart of Nazi Berlin, and introduces a private eye in the great tradition of Hammett and Chandler.

1928 год. Берлин, в котором пока еще возможно все и ничто не запрещено. Это новый Вавилон, как его зовут местные жители, город злачных развлечений и уличных боев между бандами, город роскоши и нищеты. Берни Гюнтеру, молодому детективу, работающему в берлинской полиции, дают новое дело: кто-то каждую неделю снимает скальпы с проституток, нарочно оставляя на местах преступлений множество улик. Убийца словно дразнит полицейских, правда, они и сами не слишком рвутся его ловить, но все меняется, когда таким же образом погибает дочь местного криминального авторитета. Только этим проблемы Берни не исчерпываются, вскоре он получает еще одно…

Раньше встретиться с джиннами можно было только в восточных сказках. Между тем джинн - могущественные существа, созданные из огня, - находятся среди нас. Они выглядят так же, как люди, но их силы не сравнимы с нашими. Джинн могут становиться невидимыми и вселяться в человеческие тела, перемещаться по воздуху на смерче или скрываться в лампе, - подобной той, что нашел Аладдин.
Но далеко не все джинн пользуются своими способностями в благих целях. Ифритцы, принадлежащие к клану злых джинн, рвутся к мировому владычеству, не выбирая средства. С ними-то и придется столкнуться Джону и Филиппе - обычным подросткам-близнецам из Нью-Йорка, которые внезапно обнаружили, что они - джинн, Дети Лампы. Они отправятся в Египет, в Индию, в Ирак, где некогда-то был Вавилон, и другие удивительные места, чтобы разрушить ифритский заговор и восстановить мировой порядок.

Музей Метрополитен в Нью-Йорке атаковали призраки. Их вторжение замечают в Лондоне, Париже, Берлине. В царстве духов как будто произошло землетрясение. А в довершение всего в наш мир хлынули полчища существ, напоминающих зомби. Близнецам Джону и Филиппе придётся применить джинн-силу и перенестись в загробный мир. И выяснить… что он опустел. Но какое отношение к этому имеют китайские воины-дьяволы? И кто вернул этих жутких зомби из небытия? Для среднего школьного возраста.

Древний культ "Восьми кобр" возрождается к жизни. Скоро он станет еще страшнее, ведь его действие усилит девятая змея - королева-кобра. Защитой от змеиного культа служит амулет из зубов мудрости джинн, и на зубы близнецов Филиппы и Джона уже началась охота. Ведь юные джинн обладают огромными силами.
Разобраться в том, кто стоит за возрождением культа, попытаются дядя близнецов - Нимрод и их старый друг джинн Ракшас. Они отправятся в Индию к Зеленому Дервишу, не подозревая, что летят прямо в ловушку. Для их освобождения Джону и Филиппе придется помериться силами с безумным индийским гуру. И их заклятый враг Иблис тоже не дремлет…
Для детей среднего школьного возраста.

Землетрясение в Египте явит свету сокровище фараонов. И завладеть им захотят не только коллекционеры, но и джинн - могущественные существа, сотканные из огня, которые лишь выглядят как люди.
В первой книге серии близнецы Джон и Филиппа вместо летнего лагеря полетят в Лондон к дяде Нимроду, чтобы узнать о своих сверхспособностях и испытать их при столкновении двух кланов джинн. Детям Лампы придется сыграть в опасную игру, на кону которой - равновесие всего мира.
Для детей среднего школьного возраста.

Под землей, на месте разрушенного Вавилона, скрывается самая могущественная джинн. Именно она вершит судьбы всех джинн и людей. Но время ее службы истекает, и нужно искать следующую Синюю джинн.
Близнецам Филиппе и Джону предстоит вновь проявить суперспособности, ведь они принадлежат к маридам - клану благородных джинн. Однако другие джинн, ифритцы, хотят помешать им восстановить мировую справедливость. Особенно глава этого клана - жестокий Иблис, у которого с близнецами старые счеты.

Berlin, 1928, the height of the Weimar Republic. Bernie is a young detective working in Vice when he asked to investigate the Silesian Station killings: four prostitutes murdered in as many weeks, and in the same gruesome manner.
Bernie hardly has time to acquaint himself with the case files before another murder occurs. Until now, no one has shown much interest in these victims - there are plenty in Berlin who'd like the streets washed clean of such degenerates. But this time the girl's father runs Berlin's foremost criminal ring, and he's prepared to go to extreme lengths to find his daughter's killer.
It seems that someone is determined to rid Berlin of anyone less than perfect. The voice of Nazism is becoming a roar that threatens to drown out all others. But not Bernie Gunther's...

Berlin, 1928, the dying days of the Weimar Republic shortly before Hitler and the Nazis came to power. It was a period of decadence and excess as Berliners - after the terrible slaughter of WWI and the hardships that followed - are enjoying their own version of Babylon. Bernie is a young detective working in Vice when he gets a summons from Bernard Weiss, Chief of Berlin's Criminal Police. He invites Bernie to join KIA - Criminal Inspection A - the supervisory body for all homicide investigation in Kripo. Bernie's first task is to investigate the Silesian Station killings - four prostitutes murdered in as many weeks. All of them have been hit over the head with a hammer and then scalped with a sharp knife.
Bernie hardly has time to acquaint himself with the case files before another prostitute is murdered. Until now, no one has shown much interest in these victims - there are plenty in Berlin who'd like the streets washed clean of such degenerates. But this time the girl's father runs Berlin's foremost criminal ring, and he's prepared to go to extreme lengths to find his daughter's killer.
Then a second series of murders begins - of crippled wartime veterans who beg in the city's streets. It seems that someone is determined to clean up Berlin of anyone less than perfect. The voice of Nazism is becoming a roar that threatens to drown out all others. But not Bernie.

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, completed just before Philip Kerr's untimely death, is the capstone of a fourteen-book journey through the life of Kerr's signature character, Bernhard Genther, a sardonic and wisecracking homicide detective caught up in an increasingly Nazified Berlin police department. In many ways, it is Bernie's origin story and, as Kerr's last novel, it is also, alas, his end.

Metropolis is also 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.

Berlin detective Bernie Gunther bows out at last in the 14th and final book of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling series. With an introduction by Ian Rankin. Berlin, 1928, the dying days of the Weimar Republic shortly before Hitler and the Nazis came to power. It was a period of decadence and excess as Berliners – after the terrible slaughter of WWI and the hardships that followed – are enjoying their own version of Babylon.

1957, Munich. Bernie Gunther's latest move in a string of varied careers sees him working for an insurance company. It makes a kind of sense: both cops and insurance companies have a vested interest in figuring out when people are lying to them, and Bernie has a lifetime of experience to call on.
Sent to Athens to investigate a claim from a fellow German for a sunken ship, Bernie takes an instant dislike to the claimant. When he discovers the ship in question once belonged to a Greek Jew deported to Auschwitz, he is convinced the sinking was no accident but an act of vengeance.
And so Bernie is once again drawn inexorably back to the dark history of the Second World War, and the deportation of the Jews of Salonika - now Thessaloniki. As Europe prepares to move on to a more united future with Germany as a partner rather than an enemy, at least one person in Greece is ready neither to forgive nor forget. And, deep down, Bernie thinks they may have a point.

It makes a kind of sense: both cops and insurance companies have a vested interest in figuring out when people are lying to them, and Bernie has a lifetime of experience to call on.

Sent to Athens to investigate a claim from a fellow German for a ship that has sunk, Bernie takes an instant dislike to the claimant. When he discovers the ship in question once belonged to a Greek Jew deported to Auschwitz, he is convinced the sinking was no accident but an avenging arson attack. Then the claimant is found dead, shot through both eyes. It's a win for Bernie's employers at least: no one to pay out to even if the claim is genuine. But who is behind the murder, and why?

Strong-armed into helping the Greek police with their investigation, Bernie is once again drawn inexorably back to the dark history of the Second World War, and the deportation of the Jews of Salonika - now Thessaloniki. As Europe seems ready to move on to a more united future with Germany as a partner rather than an enemy, at least one person in Greece is ready neither to forgive nor forget. And, deep down, Bernie thinks they may have a point.

France, 1956. Bernie Gunther is on the run. If there's one thing he's learned, it's never to refuse a job from a high-ranking secret policeman. But this is exactly what he's just done. Now he's a marked man, with the East German Stasi on his tail.
Fleeing across Europe, he remembers the last time he worked with his pursuer: in 1939, to solve a murder at the Berghof, Hitler's summer hideaway in the Bavarian Alps. Hitler is long dead, the Berghof now a ruined shell, and the bizarre time Bernie spent there should be no more than a distant memory.
But as he pushes on to Berlin and safety, Bernie will find that no matter how far he thinks he has put Nazi Germany behind him, for him it will always be unfinished business. The Berghof is not done with Bernie yet.

When his cover is blown, former Berlin bull and unwilling SS officer Bernie Gunther must re-enter a cat-and-mouse game that continues to shadow his life a decade after Germany’s defeat in World War 2... The French Riviera, 1956: Bernie’s old and dangerous adversary Erich Mielke, deputy head of the East German Stasi, has turned up in Nice—and he’s not on holiday. Mielke is calling in a debt and wants Bernie to travel to London to poison a female agent they’ve both had dealings with. But Bernie isn't keen on assassinating anyone. In an attempt to dodge his Stasi handler—former Kripo comrade Friedrich Korsch—Bernie bolts for the German…
