München, 1949: een stad waar schimmige handel, hebzucht en vluchtende oorlogsmisdadigers samen komen. Ook na de oorlog is het een plek vol verraad. Privédetectives krijgen heel wat onfrisse zaken aan
Germany, 1949: Amid the chaos of defeat, it's a place of dirty deals, rampant greed, fleeing Nazis, and all the intrigue and deceit readers have come to expect from this immensely talented thriller writer. In The One from the Other, Hitler's legacy lives on. For Bernie Gunther, Berlin has become too dangerous, and he now works as a private detective in Munich. Business is slow and his funds are dwindling when a woman hires him to investigate her husband's disappearance. No, she doesn't want him back-he's a war criminal. She merely wants confirmation that he is dead. It's a simple job, but in postwar Germany, nothing is simple-nothing is what it appears to be. Accepting the case, Bernie takes on far more than he'd bargained for, and before long, he is on the run, facing enemies from every side.

Un any després d'abandonar la KRIPO, la Policia Criminal alemanya, Bernie Gunther treballa a l'Hotel Adlon, on s'allotja la periodista nord-americana Noreen Charalambides, que ha arribat a Berlín amb la intenció d'investigar el creixent fervor antisemita i la sospitosa designació de la ciutat com a seu dels Jocs Olímpics de 1936. La Noreen i en Gunther s'associen dins i fora del llit per seguir la pista d'una trama que uneix les altes esferes del nazisme amb el crim organitzat dels Estats Units. Però la Noreen és obligada a tornar al seu país, i en Gunther, una vegada més, haura de contemplar com una dona se li escapoleix. Fins que, al cap de vint anys, tots dos es retroben a l'Havana de Batista, un temps abans de la Revolució.Cínic i descarat, però honest i sensible, Bernie Gunther és el protagonista de la sèrie Berlin Noir, amb què Philip Kerr ha conquerit lectors d'arreu del món. Si els morts no ressusciten ha obtingut el III Premi Internacional de Novel·la Negra RBA.
«Ningú no treballa per als seus enemics si no és que no pot triar gaire», diu en Bernie Gunther. Som a l'any 1954 i en Bernie és a Cuba. Cansat d'espiar a en Meyer Lansky, una feina cada cop
