Summary
A well-known American journalist travels to Germany to write about the Allied occupation-and also to find the German woman with whom he had an affair before the war began. In war-ravaged Berlin, he finds more than he expected, including a murdered American soldier and a stunning level of postwar corruption that is inextricably mixed with the American and Russian rocket projects. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

Media Reviews
"The mystery takes on the weight of the deepest questions of right and wrong as the novel's action moves through a ravaged Berlin so exactly depicted that one feels Kanon must have traveled in time to witness this landscape himself....Even with its occasional lapses, THE GOOD GERMAN is thoroughly captivating, a novel that brings to life the ambiguities at the heart of our country's moral legacy." -- Neil Gordon
-- New York Times Book Review
"Occupied Berlin makes for a remarkable setting.... [Geismar] manages to resolve things rather handily by the finish." -- David Lazarus
-- San Francisco Chronicle

When Phillip is left bound hand and foot on the Dalrymple estate, he turns to his childhood friend, the formidable Daisy Dalrymple, for help.

The Good German: A Novel
Kanon, Joseph
New York: Picador; Henry Holt and Company, 2002 482 pp., maps; 21 cm. AS NEW. "Set in Berlin just after the end of World War II, a brilliant thriller about the end of one war and the beginning of another, by the bestselling author of Los Alamos. Berlin, 1945. Jake Geismar, former Berlin correspondent for CBS, has managed to wangle one of the coveted press slots for the Potsdam Conference. His assignment: a series of articles on the American occupation of postwar Berlin. His personal agenda: to find Lena, the German mistress he left behind at the outbreak of the war. When he stumbles on a murder--an American soldier washed up on the shore of the conference grounds--he thinks he has found the key that will unlock his Berlin story. What he finds instead is a larger story of corruption and intrigue reaching deep into the heart of the occupation and a city not only physically but morally devastatated, where children scavenge for food in the rubble, sex can be had for a cigarette, and the black market is the only means of survival. Berlin at zero hour is like nowhere else--a tragedy, and a feverish party after the end of the world. And nothing is simple--not the murder of a soldier and not any of the lives, American and German, that Jake encounters as he tries to solve it. More unsolvable still is the larger crime that hangs over everything in 1945, a crime so huge it seems beyond punishment. At once a murder mystery, a love story, and a riveting portrait of a unique time and place, The Good German is a historical thriller of the first rank. / Joseph Kanon is the author of two previous novels, Los Alamos (a New York Times bestseller in both hardcover and paperback) and The Prodigal Spy. Before becoming a full-time writer, he was a book publishing executive. He and his wife, Robin Straus, a literary agent, live in New York City." - Publisher.. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Movie Tie-in. ( more information) Offered by Left Coast Books (United States)
