A Quiet Flame / Philip Kerr / 389 pages

Detective Bernie Gunther has relocated to Peron's Argentina after Hitler's overthrow at the end of World War II.  He has thyroid cancer, a new identity, and a new case that is similar to a case that he was pulled off of in 1930's Berlin.  His life is threatened repeatedly and yet he persists in his investigations.  Mr. Kerr's extensive research into Nazis and twentieth century Germany make a A Quiet Flame an interesting read.
