The Lady from Zagreb begins and ends in 1956. Series detective Bernie Gunther is enduring a 'subtle kind of punishment' as he watches and re-watches beautiful Dahlia Dresner, a woman he has loved and lost. This is the tenth of the novels that began with the publication of the Berlin Noir trilogy (in the early 1990s) and within a few pages the action has catapulted back to the summer of 1942 and the heartland location, Nazi Berlin. Gunther wakes from a Luminal-induced sleep into a world that is black and white 'but mostly black, with silver piping'. He is employed in Reinhert Heydrich's SD (Sicherheitsdienst) but Heydrich has been assassinated and the fear and loathing and mutual suspicion among the top ranking Nazi officers is even closer than usual to paranoia.
