It is 1949 and Bernie Gunther has set up a new detective agency in Munich. Soon, he is drawn unwittingly into a plot to smuggle Nazi war criminals out of the new Federal Republic of Germany. There is the usual sex and violence. And Bernie's inimitable wit is outdone only by his cynicism as he foils both his Nazi enemies and an Israeli death squad that has mistaken him for an infamous former concentration camp doctor.

Bernie Gunther fans will enjoy The One from the Other greatly. It is a worthy addition to the series.
