Order of Bernie Gunther Books
Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther stands at the heart of a compelling series of historical mystery and thriller novels. A World War I veteran who served on the Turkish Front, Bernie transitioned from police work to operating as a private investigator in pre-World War II Berlin. As the Nazi Party gains momentum, his detective work becomes increasingly complex, though his principles put him at odds with the rising regime.
Philip Kerr launched the Bernie Gunther series in 1989 with March Violets, followed by A German Requiem in 1991, after which the series went dormant for fifteen years. Kerr revived the character in 2006 with The One from the Other, and the series has continued since then.
