Le point de vue de l'éditeur On se souvient de Bernie Gunther, l'ex-commissaire de police devenu détective privé, qui, à la fin de La Trilogie berlinoise, assistait à la chute du IIIe Reich, conscient de la corruption qui, à Berlin comme à Vienne, minait le régime. 1949. Bernie vit une passe difficile. Sa femme se meurt, et il craint que le matricule SS dont il garde la trace sous le bras ne lui joue de sales tours. Une cliente affriolante lui demande de retrouver la trace de son époux nazi, et le voici embarqué dans une aventure qui le dépasse.
