About this Item

The One From The Other (2008) by Philip Kerr ? Sold by Crappy Old Books The war is over, but the nightmares aren?t. In The One From The Other , Philip Kerr resurrects his sardonic, battered Berlin detective Bernie Gunther for another brutal dive into the dark heart of post-war Europe. It?s 1949, the rubble is settling, and everyone has a past they?re trying to bury?especially the Nazis. Gunther, now a hotelier-turned-private eye, takes on a missing-persons case that leads him straight into a nest of former SS officers, identity swaps, and moral grey zones that make the war look simple by comparison. Kerr?s razor-sharp noir prose slices through the smoky ruins of history, blurring the line between justice and vengeance. This is historical crime fiction done right: stylish, intelligent, and bleakly funny. Condition: Paperback. Spine cracked like an old Gestapo file. Some foxing. Smells faintly of ashtrays and secrets. Still dangerously readable. Crappy Old Books ? Where dusty paperbacks come with body counts. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE.
