Self's Murder: A Gerhard Self Mystery

by Bernhard Schlink (Author), Prof Bernhard Schlink (Author)

Synopsis

The author of THE READER returns with another thrilling case for sleuth Gerhard Self.

PI Gerhard Self is lured out of retirement by a seemingly straightforward assignment: to find the former sleeping partner at Welker & Welker, a prestigious private bank. But the case soon throws up many more questions than answers, and Self finds himself embroiled in a shady world of money-laundering, mafia and murder...

What secrets is the bank's history hiding? Why are the institution's enigmatic masters - Herr Welker and his steely Russian foster brother - trying to ensnare Self in their dangerous game, and just who is the stranger claiming to be Self's long-lost son?
