Prague Fatale is a 2011 novel by Philip Kerr.It is the eighth novel in the Bernie Gunther Historical Fiction detective series, recounting the adventures of a German detective in Nazi Germany and postwar West Germany. The setting is the fall of 1941. Bernie Gunther is back in Berlin. His eyewitness experience of the horrors of the Holocaust on the Eastern Front led him to request a transfer to a front line unit. Instead he was sent back to the capital and his old job with the "Kripo", or criminal police.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bernie is called out to investigate the murder of a Dutch guest worker, stabbed to death by the railroad tracks. Soon after, he saves a woman, one Arianne Tauber, from being raped by a knife-wielding assailant. It turns out that the man who assaulted Arianne, one Franz Koci, is also the man who killed the Dutch laborer. Bernie is unpleasantly surprised to find out that the guy with the knife is part of the "Three Kings", a Czech resistance group that has been conducting bombing and sabotage in Germany. Arianne tells Bernie that actually, she wasn't being raped; her assailant was trying to retrieve a mysterious package that she had been paid to deliver.While all that's going on, Bernie is summoned to Prague, the capital of what used to be Czechoslovakia. None other than Reinhard Heydrich, one of the most senior members of the Nazi government and one of the most evil, wants Bernie to investigate what he believes is an assassination plot against him, possibly organized by the Three Kings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Prague Fatale / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: For the series as a whole, but averted within the book. While the series as a whole had followed Bernie from 1936 to 1954, the sixth and seventh novels had lengthy flashbacks. This one is straight chronological except for a How We Got Here prologue, but it jumps back to 1941 to fill in more of Bernie's experiences due to the war. | |

Better to Die than Be Killed | |
| Prague Fatale / int_99298c71 | comment |
Better to Die than Be Killed: Invoked by Heydrich when he explains why he killed Kuttner: in his mind, better Kuttner dies quietly in a way that can be hushed up than make his parents (whom Heydrich admits to being fond of) endure the shame of their son being publicly disgraced and shipped off to a punishment battalion. | |

Call-Forward: The time frame of Bernie's narration isn't specified but it's sometime well after the war, and a couple of times he makes reference to future events. As Konrad Henlein fumbles with his glasses, Bernie remarks that four years later, Henlein would shatter those glasses and use the glass shards to kill himself by slitting his wrists. | |
