Greeks Bearing Gifts (Broché)

It's 1957 and Bernie Gunther is back in Munich, though his passport now says "Christof Ganz." The war is over and Gunther is finally just another face in the crowd, an ordinary claims adjuster at a major German insurance company. That is, until Bernie is sent to Athens to meet an important client, a brutish former Wehrmacht soldier who served in Greece during the war and may have been living on the fortunes of Greek Jews deported to Auschwitz.
Before Bernie can verify his suspicions, he finds that somebody else has gotten to the man first. What Bernie has now is a dead body. Enter Lieutenant Leventis, an Athenian cop who is working on a case with a very similar MO. Both murders match the grim style of a killer who operated during the height of the war. Back then, a young Leventis suspected an SS officer, whose powerful position made him untouchable.
Still, Leventis has kept that name on his mind all these years, waiting for his second chance at justice. But while a pattern like this may be his best opportunity to close an old case, there's a much more sinister truth to acknowledge : A brutal killer has returned to Athens or, even worse, he may never have left.
