A gripping work of crime fiction set against the backdrop of the Second World War, The Night of the Generals chronicles the hunt for a sadistic murderer among the highest ranks of the German military. When a Warsaw prostitute is brutally killed, German Intelligence officer Major Grau becomes obsessed with unmasking the culprit — a man who wears a general's uniform. Kirst masterfully weaves together suspense and sharp psychological insight, drawing the reader into a world where absolute power breeds absolute corruption. The investigation spans years and continents, from wartime Poland to post-war Europe, building to a relentless and deeply satisfying conclusion. Praised by the New York Times Book Review as one of the finest detective novels from any source in many years, this is a taut and intelligent thriller that stands as one of the great crime novels of the twentieth century.
