Philip Kerr

Philip Kerr's new novel tells the tale of a rising star in a giant German film company, heavily influenced by the very dangerous Propaganda Minister—close confidant of Hitler.  

Novelist Philip Kerr talks about his noir thriller Field Gray. The novel is set in Europe over three decades—from Berlin in 1931 to Adenauer's Germany in 1954— which has become a place awash in duplicitous "allies" constantly undermining one another, and follows the sardonic, tough-talking Bernie Gunther.
