March Violets by Philip Kerr

Bernhard Gunther is a private eye, specializing in missing persons. And in Hitler's Berlin, he's never short of work ... Winter 1936. A man and his wife have been shot dead in their bed. The woman's father, a millionaire industrialist, wants justice--and the priceless diamonds that disappeared along with his daughter's life. As Bernie follows the trail into the cesspit that is Nazi Germany, he's forced to confront a horrifying conspiracy. One that takes him to the very heart of government, and eventually, to Dachau ... The first in the iconic Berlin Noir series, March Violets takes readers to the rotten heart of Nazi Berlin, and introduces a private eye in the great tradition of Hammett and Chandler--back cover.
