Paperback. English. Publisher: Berkley Books. 1983. In fair/good condition. Resurrected on the lush, mysterious banks of Riverworld, along with the rest of humanity, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) has a dream: to build a riverboat that will rival the most magnificent paddle-wheelers ever navigated on the mighty Mississippi. Then, to steer it up the endless waterway that dominates his new home planet--and at last discover its hidden source.

Philip is a young man who lives with his widowed mother and two sisters in North London in 'reduced circumstances' since his father died. He's about to start his first job, and his girlfriend wants to marry and 'settle down'. but he starts to resist the life he can see mapped out. Like all Rendell novels, the story is set in a very recognisable world populated with everyday folk, but nothing is ever quite as it seems and the book takes on an increasingly claustrophobic and nightmarish quality as it goes along. Seemingly innocent and thoughtless gestures precipitate a relentless chain of events which the author depicts with painstaking, relentless inevitability. A young girl who was a contemporary of Philip's sister disappears, presumed dead, and this event brings on Philip's strange repulsion of violence, annexing him from his family. His ability to hide his thoughts makes him a very unreliable narrator, It's not an Inspector Wexford or a whodunnit as such, but it has an uneasy, claustrophobic atmosphere all of its own.

Sam Mendes, Guardian 'Philip Kerr is the contemporary master of the morally complex thriller...' New York Observer The third in Philip Kerr's universally loved 'Berlin Noir' trilogy, A German Requiem sees detective Bernie Gunther enter the new and terrifying world of post-war Vienna. In the bitter winter of 1947 the Russian Zone is closing ever more tightly around Berlin. So when an enigmatic Russian colonel asks Bernie Gunther to go to Vienna, where his ex-Kripo colleague Emil Becker faces a murder charge, Bernie doesn't hesitate for long. Despite an unsavoury past, Gunther is convinced that the shooting of an American Nazi-hunter is one crime Becker didn't commit. But Vienna is not the peaceful haven Bernie expects it to be. Communism is the new enemy, and with the Nuremberg trials over, some strange alliances are being forged against the Red Menace - alignments that make many wartime atrocities look lily-white by comparison. Vividly evoking the atmosphere of postwar Vienna, A Germen Requiem brings all Philip Kerr's pace and mordant wit to the tangle of guilt, suspicion, and double-dealing that laid the foundations for the Cold War.
