Berlin detective Bernie Gunther concludes his remarkable journey in the 14th and final installment of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling series. This captivating novel is introduced by the renowned Ian Rankin.

Bernie Gunther, a young detective working in Vice, is tasked with investigating the gruesome murders of four prostitutes at the Silesian Station in 1928, during the height of the Weimar Republic. As he delves into the case files, another murder takes place, intensifying the urgency to find the killer. However, these victims had previously been overlooked by the authorities, as there were many in Berlin who sought to rid the streets of such "degenerates."

What makes this case particularly intriguing is the involvement of the girl's father, who is the head of Berlin's most notorious criminal ring. He is determined to avenge his daughter's murder and will stop at nothing to find her killer. The atmosphere in Berlin is filled with the growing menace of Nazism, which is threatening to drown out all other voices.

But Bernie Gunther is not one to be intimidated. He is a fearless investigator who has faced countless challenges throughout the series. With his unwavering determination and sharp wit, Bernie navigates the treacherous waters of the criminal underworld and uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to engulf him.

As the story unfolds, Bernie becomes increasingly aware of the growing threat posed by Nazism. He witnesses the rise of the **** party and the persecution of those deemed unworthy by the regime. But he remains steadfast in his commitment to justice and refuses to bow down to the forces of hatred and oppression.

In the end, Bernie Gunther emerges as a hero, a symbol of resistance against the forces of darkness. His unwavering dedication to the truth and his refusal to compromise his principles make him a true legend in the world of detective fiction.

The Bernie Gunther series has captivated readers worldwide with its intricate plot, memorable characters, and powerful themes of justice, morality, and the fight against oppression. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the ability of literature to inspire and challenge us.
