Field Grey is a 2010 novel by Philip Kerr. It is the seventh novel in the Bernie Gunther detective series.The opening finds Bernhardt "Bernie" Gunther in Cuba in 1954. Bernie has been working for gangster Meyer Lansky, but a Cuban intelligence officer wants to turn Bernie into a spy/informant. So Bernie takes his boat and sets out for Haiti, carrying along a fetching young lady named Melba who is going with him because she's a Castro revolutionary who's wanted for shooting a cop.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Taking along Melba proves to be a serious mistake. Bernie is pulled over by a U.S. Navy patrol in the waters off of Guantanamo, and both he and Melba are arrested. Soon after the Americans realize who he is. A series of interrogations during Bernie's stay in brutal American prisons fill in much of his life during and immediately after the war, including his hunt for fugitive German communist Erich Mielke in France soon after the French surrender in 1940, his experience of the Holocaust as leader of an SS unit in the Ukraine in summer 1941, his capture by the Russians at Konigsberg in 1945, and his suffering as a Soviet prisoner 1945-46. Finally, the Americans reveal their ultimate objective: they want to capture Erich Mielke, and turn him into a double agent. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Field Grey / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: There's a Framing Device set in 1954, which is interspersed throughout with a series of flashbacks from 1931 (Bernie investigates the murder of two Berlin cops by the Communists), 1940 (Bernie hunts for Erich Mielke in occupied France), 1941 (Bernie witnesses the horrors of the Eastern Front), and 1945-46 (Bernie is captured at Konigsberg and becomes a prisoner of war). The previous six Bernie Gunther novels had recounted his career both before and after the war but this was the first one to recount Bernie's experiences During the War. This started a trend in the series, with the next three novels (Prague Fatale, A Man Without Breath, and The Lady From Zagreb) detailing more of Bernie's wartime experiences. | |

Argentina Is Nazi-Land: In 1954, Bernie has an Argentinian passport. He mentions to an American interrogator that he lived for a while in Argentina, which has lots of Nazis. | |
