Ex-Berlin cop and private detective Bernie Gunther has seen his share of bad guys. But when the worst guys of all are the ones running the show, it's much harder to stay out of their reach.

Hired by a wealthy industrialist to investigate the murder of his daughter and her husband in an apparent botched robbery, Bernie soon finds himself drawn into the complex - not to mention lethal - internal politics and corruption of the Nazi party. When Hermann Goering himself calls Bernie in with a task for him that throws his existing case into a whole new light, he must weigh up his hatred of the Nazis against his desire to stay alive.

Phillip Kerr, abusando de metáforas, carregando no sacarsmo ao criticar o regime nazista e utilizando de humor inteligente, torna a leitura de Violeta de Março aprazível. Todas as características da narrativa policial investigativa se encontra nesse livro. Além do excelente enredo, o autor nos surpreende no final. Vale a pena ler.
