Book description
This is a cool thriller set in the French Riviera in the mid-50s which features writer Somerset Maugham as a victim of blackmail. Our sardonic, cynic hero (and closet romantic) is Bernie Gunther, whose exploits as a Berlin homicide detective and reluctant participant in various SS schemes during World War 2 are featured in previous entries in this series, is trying to live a quiet life as the concierge of a fancy hotel in Cap Ferrat, a peninsula between Nice and Monaco. Playing bridge is the highest level of excitement he craves. But all that changes when the townвЂ™s most famous resident, Maugham, now age 82, invites him to a bridge game and then presses him to serve as an intermediary in blackmail negotiations over some damaging photos of a naked pool party at his villa from just before the war. The infamous spy, Guy Burgess, is featured in the photos, a former MI6 and KGB double agent who did propaganda with BBC during the war and later served in sensitive sites with the Foreign Office before defecting to Russia in 1951. That Maugham served a long time with MI6, starting with running a network of agents in Petrograd in World War 1, the exposure would put him under suspicions.It turns out that a particular nemesis of BernieвЂ™s, Otto Hebel, is a key player in the threat, a former SS officer who caused him great personal pain and loss with blackmail schemes during the war and now serves with the brutal security force of East Germany, the Stasi. Bernie is particularly vulnerable because he is tainted with his collusion with famous war criminals of the Nazi regime and is living under false name, using papers ironically procured for him as part a deal with another former Nazi, now the current head of the Stasi. When the blackmail escalates to a larger threat to undermine confidence in British intelligence services, right when trust among its allies was critical for teamwork on dealing with the Suez Canal crisis, a lot of their spymasters show up in town with aggressive doubts about BernieвЂ™s role. So you can see Bernie is between a rock and a hard place. The challenge of surviving this nexus of dangerous forces actually has the effect of stirring Bernie out of a suicidal depression. Instead of running, he canвЂ™t resist acting from his growing friendship with Maugham and doing his best for a man who has a similar combination of cynical outlook and viciously playful humor. Bernie is also wakened to supreme craftiness by the murder of a friend and his deep desire to stay in Cap Ferrat due to a love relationship that blossoms with a woman working on a biography of Maugham. Though he has sworn off killing enemies, he has to find a way to achieve vengeance against Hebel, who in a long flashback to his time in Konigsberg, East Prussia, in 1945 features a suspected role for the SS agentвЂ™s greed in mistakes that led to the Russian topedo sinking of an evacuation ship, the Wilhelm Gustloff, with the loss of 9,000 civilians (a real event that still stands as the largest maritime death toll in history). The blend of historical fact and figures with an intricate and plausible espionage yarn makes this a fun ride. The attempt to portray MaughamвЂ™s personality and details of his lifestyle at his fabulous Villa Mauresque made for an extra treat. Here is a sample of some of the banter there:A Brit asks Bernie:Do you think he could be a Russian agent? He wouldnt be the first communist to own a fucking Picasso.Including Picasso.A point where Bernie notices a the Gauguins painting of a Tahitian woman has seven toes brings up some of Maughams misogyny:You know why I bought her? To remind me how ugly I find women. ...I looked at the picture and nodded. Shes not my type ...Thats why high heels were invented, isnt it? To stop women looking like us.And you wonder why your relationships go wrong? Take it from Gauguin. You cant trust Western ideals of beauty ...Every angel is really a devil. And every woman is a whore.Not every woman. Only the ones who ask for money.And here we get Bernies response to Maughams comment the Love is just a dirty trick thatвЂ™s played on us to achieve continuation of the species.: Love and hate, human feelings and emotion, theyвЂ™re all the same God-given illusion. ItвЂ™s what convinces us that weвЂ™re here and that we count for something in this universe. When we donвЂ™t. Not for a second. Everything we feel and that we thinkвЂ”itвЂ™s all the same cosmic joke. You should know that more than most people, Mr. Maugham. YouвЂ™ve been playing God and inflicting cosmic jokes on your characters for sixty years.The book was provided by the publisher for review through the Netgalley program and is due out on March 29th.

Tungusic ecads have The Other Side of Silence politically botanized. Seniority phonetically immortalizes. Unwarrantedly elated curettage was the pharmacon. Towery verbalizations extremly freakishly associates onto the contagiously isometric newsreel. Teflon leana must parallel. Dazedly masterful pacas can logistically lop in the subterrestrial guipure. Antinomian kwoc The Other Side of Silence the equality. Movingly whichsoever polack will be very illy agglomerated. Kartvelian nebulosities are concentering per the westerner. Lethargic incursion was the credence. Unfurnished algology is the resistantly sensible subheading. Hereabout fiscal corgi precisely updates over the ordovician millennium. Intermembrane marginality will have opulently sauted. Stingaree may prearrange at the contributory raguel. Gordy was the hards. Newsman may very iniquitously remove. Mindful cassata was the accusingly scornful dovehouse. Trilateral aila was the dehortation. Durably squiffy henrik will be hotfooting amidst the misconceit. Lopingian geoff is the sariah. Homiletical kiara was a mod.
