About This Item

London: Viking, 1989. A set of three first edition, first printings published by Viking between 1989 and 1990. Consisting: 'March Violets': A fine book with a little browning to the page edges, without inscriptions in a fine unclipped wrapper. 'The Pale Criminal': A near fine book with one small black mark to the bottom edge, in a near fine clipped wrapper. 'A German Requiem': A near fine book without inscriptions in a very good unclipped wrapper with some wear to the corners. The "Berlin Noir Trilogy" is a series of historical crime novels written by British author Philip Kerr. Set in Berlin, Germany, during the tumultuous years leading up to and during World War II, the trilogy features the character Bernie Gunther, a cynical and morally conflicted detective. The books, which include "March Violets," "The Pale Criminal," and "A German Requiem," are known for their rich historical detail, intricate plots, and exploration of the dark and morally complex aspects of Nazi-era Germany. The trilogy offers a unique blend of crime fiction and historical commentary, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read.

On Dec 21 2007, Booksshhe said:
given that i have a frightening love for the NOIR genre....this trio takes the, uh, cake...reminiscent of James Ellroy--with a European(here's where i struggle for words) reticence...c'mon the books are set in pre- and post-war Berlin....the novels of the late 30s were more reticent....not to say these are panty-waist books...they're violent for sure but they have....Class...Style....not unlike Ellroy but....there's that something more-or less-lurking beyond the page....Question: Why has no one seen fit to bring these books to the screen? they would be perfect. and i hate to see good books turned into mediocre films...
