Krátky popis
The French Riviera, 1956. A world-weary Bernie Gunther is working
under a false name as a hotel concierge. His attempts to keep his
nose clean go horribly awry when a wartime acquaintance sucks him
into a blackmail plot involving one of the most famous British
writers of the 20th century and the Cambridge Spies. Bernie is
missing his old detective life when his past walks through the door
in the shape of Harold Hennig, a former captain in the Nazi
security service - the man who, in 1945, was responsible for the
deaths of thousands, among them a woman Bernie loved. Hennig now
enjoys a lucrative career as a blackmailer. Hennig's target on the
Cote d'Azur is a famous resident with a dark past and plenty to
hide - the writer, Somerset Maugham. A shared love of bridge draws
Bernie to Maugham's magnificent villa, where Maugham tells him of
the existence of a very compromising photograph. Taken in 1937, it
shows Maugham among a group of naked men beside a swimming pool -
one of whom is the infamous spy and homosexual, Guy Burgess, who,
with Donald Maclean, has recently defected to Moscow. Hennig has
the photograph and is demanding $50,000 for its release. Bernie is
reluctant to become Maugham's agent but his former life has made
him as vulnerable to blackmail as Maugham himself. Not only that -
he has a massive score to settle with Hennig.
