THE LADY FROM ZAGREB (eng.)
O knjizi THE LADY FROM ZAGREB (eng.)
When Bernie Gunther, is ordered to speak at an international police conference, an old acquaintance has a favour to ask. Little does Bernie suspect what this simple surveillance task will provoke...
One year later, resurfacing from the hell of the Eastern Front, Bernie receives another task that seems straightforward: locating the father of Dalia Dresner, the rising star of German cinema. And if escaping Berling for a beautiful woman is not motivation enough, there is the small matter of the requests origin: Goebbels himself.
But Dresners father hails from Yugoslavia, a country so riven by sectarian horrors that even Bernies stomach is turned. And meanwhile the previous years cold case lingers on, and theres only so long Bernie can stay away.
