Thanks, WML. We are in touch with Soho Lit Fest. They don't expect to have audio or video but they do hope to be able to send us some still photos. Though with 40 events planned over the course of a weekend, it's possible the roving photographers mi…

Thanks, WML. We agree, the flashbacks work well in QF. Though we know some people were a little annoyed by the structure of the book. But no complaints here!

Thanks, WML. Glad you liked it. On to TOFTO!

Hi, WML. Everyone sure hopes so! But clearly it won't be covered in Prague Fatale, which supposedly is set entirely in 1941-42. Maybe that bodes well for future books -- the Gormann story must be told!

Actually, he's just 58 in Field Grey/Gray. That's if you go with the 1896 birth year (The One From the Other). (He's 56 if you go by the age in the first two books.) Unfortunately we probably won't know where he and Elisabeth show up next, at leas…

When you're ready, please let us know what you think of March Violets. (Or maybe you want to wait until you finish Berlin Noir.) And while you're at it, let us know your thoughts on In the Garden of Beasts too! Isn't it tricky to read both books a…

Welcome, WML. When you're done with March Violets or the whole of Berlin Noir, please come back and let everyone know what you think. PK did a postgraduate degree in the '80s that focused on German law and philosophy -- specifically of the Nazi pe…

Gary and Pat hosted the Minneapolis stop of the tour at their bookstore Once Upon a Crime. They sent this report to BernieGunther.com: "We just adored Philip Kerr. He was so much nicer than his picture - but I guess the publisher feels that he nee…

The book tour in support of Field Grey starts this week, beginning in NYC on Thursday. If any of you attend any of the appearances, please snap a few photos and send them to us. We'll put them on the site. And if you attend any of the events, plea…

Breaking news: "HBO and Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are in early talks to acquire the Berlin Noir novel series by Philip Kerr. The plan is to develop this as a series that focuses on the police detective character Bernie Gunther …

All of the Bernie Books are available in German except Prague Fatale, which won't be available until 2013. We hear it will be published sometime between February and July of 2013.

>>>> vaughan -- I could see Stellen Skaarsgard or Russell Crowe -- Daniel Craig, maybe, although there's less of a personality match (particularly as to the quick quips and wisecracks). Of course if we could go back in time 15 or 20 year…

More on the question of film rights, this excerpt from Robert Birnbaum's interview with Philip Kerr for The Morning News: ….. RB: You frequently go to L.A. to see about film work—no one is making films from your work? PK: The film rights are …

The film rights to the Bernie books were sold some years ago to a German film producer, and supposedly he searched for an international coproducer to help get the films made. But nothing ever came of it. So any ideas of a film are on hold for now. B…

Hi, sblackstone. We put the question to our contacts at Penguin. This is their reply: "Thank you for your interest in FIELD GREY. What matters most to us at Penguin is that writers keep writing and readers keep reading. As publishers, we do everyt…

Sorry for the delay in researching this, gherman. We contacted Putnam and put the question to them. Here is their response: "At present, ebook editions of The Berlin Noir Trilogy are not available, but we are working on the issue and hope to have …
