I really enjoy Philip Kerr's hard boiled Nazi detective, Bernie Gunther. This novel finds him alongside many well known fugitive Nazis in 1950's Argentina. There, while trying to escape his past, he is coaxed into opening one more investigation by the local authorities who know who he really is. What appears to be a standard kidnapping becomes a twisted labyrinth of betrayal and greed, that even Gunther, a former member of the SS, can't believe it all. Along the way, he reflects upon a haunting case from his previous life, and finds that his current mission is quite similar. But things are never simple for our hero, and things come to a head as he must choose between his own life and the woman he loves.
