The year is 1943. Bernie Gunther has joined the Wehrmacht's War Crimes Office in war-torn Berlin.
Rumors of a mass grave hidden in the Katyn Forest have long been circulating, and when the rumors are confirmed by a wolf's discovery of human bones, both the Wehrmacht and the German propaganda machine headed by Goebbels demand answers: What nationality are the bodies in the grave and which country is behind the crime? Nail-biting proof that the Russians did it would be perfect propaganda for Germany, and Gunther is ordered to Western Russia to get that proof.
A MAN WITHOUT A BREATHING DRESS is the ninth volume in PHILIP KERR's Berlin Noir series. This time, the Katyn massacre is the setting for KERR's well-crafted plot.
'With his ninth volume in the saga of German cop Bernie Gunther, KERR has written his best volume of BERLIN NOIR.' - ***** (5 hearts) Politiken
'Where KERR actually delivers, in addition to a crime novel, a sad and tragic, but fascinating story about events that still cause debate. Both about a historical trauma in recent Polish history, where poor Poland was let down by everyone. About a bunch of fine people with titles, von and doctor in front of their name, position and rank, who, with the oath of office as a ridiculous alibi, actually cowardly failed their homeland for far too long' - ***** (5 hearts) Politiken
'A well-presented historical thriller about the investigation of the massacre in the Katyn Forest. Who else but Bernie Gunther would be able to handle the task - without becoming the lapdog of the powers that be?' - Weekendavisen
'If you like contradictory protagonists, a fascinating universe of war, politics and murder - in short, human decay - and some funny remarks, you will not be bored in Bernie Gunther's company.' - Weekendavisen
'If you fall asleep to this book, you are as dead as the 4,000 lifeless bodies in the Katyn Forest.' - Weekendavisen
'The unimaginable stench of corpses and the work of the coroners comes alive before the eyes of the readers. It is disgustingly well-written.' ***** (5 stars) Berlingske
'The Katyn massacre forms the backdrop for PHILIP KERR's historical crime novel A MAN WITHOUT A BREATH. It holds up all the way.' ***** (5 stars) Berlingske
'KERR can put problems under debate, even those that belong to history.' ***** (5 stars) Jyllands-posten
