{"product_id":"field-gray","title":"Field Gray","description":"Description for FIELD GRAY by Philip Kerr:\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nBernie on Bernie: I didn't like Bernhard Gunther very much. He was cynical and world-weary and hardly had a good word to say about anyone, least of all himself. He'd had a pretty tough war . . . and done quite a few things of which he wasn't proud. . . . It had been no picnic for him since then either; it didn't seem to matter where he spread life's tartan rug, there was always a turd on the grass.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nStriding across Europe through the killing fields of three decades-from riot-torn Berlin in 1931 to Adenauer's Germany in 1954, awash in duplicitous \"allies\" busily undermining one another-Field Gray reveals a world based on expediency, where the ends justify the means and no one can be trusted. It brings us a hero who is sardonic, tough- talking, and cynical, but who does have a rough sense of humor and a rougher sense of right and wrong. He's Bernie Gunther. He drinks too much and smokes excessively and is somewhat overweight (but a Russian prisoner-of-war camp will take care of those bad habits). He's Bernie Gunther-a brave man, because when there is nothing left to lose, honor rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nThis is #7 in A Bernie Gunther Novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42953841639640,"sku":"9780399157417","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/Field_20Gray.jpg?v=1654972194","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/field-gray","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
