The bestselling author of Los Alamos and Alibi returns to 1945 with The Good German. Hitler has been defeated and Berlin is divided into zones of occupation. Jake Geismar, an American correspondent who spent time in the city before the war, has returned to write about the Allied triumph while pursuing a more personal quest: his search for Lena, the married woman he left behind. The Good German is a story of espionage, love, and murder, an extraordinary re-creation of a city devastated by war, and a thriller that asks the most profound ethical questions in its exploration of the nature of justice and what we mean by good and evil in times of peace and of war.

About the Author: Joseph Kanon is the author of three other novels, Los Alamos, Alibi and The Prodigal Spy. Before becoming a full-time writer, he was a book publishing executive. He lives in New York City.
