I read it for the background of a detective surviving in Berlin during WW II. Great read.
The first of the Bernie Gunther series.

I decided in January 2010 to read a book a week and write a mini-review. My rating system: **** Must Read --- it's unique in its class or definitive, and exceptionally well written *** Highly recommended -- very well written, plot and characters flawless, but not unique ** Interesting, well written * Fun, light 0 No substance, exploitive, derivative, badly written, and/or boring
