●以《Los Alamos》與《Alibi》登上暢銷作家的Joseph Kanon，這次以《The Good German》帶讀者回到1945年的柏林。當時希特勒因戰敗而自盡，柏林也因戰火而四分五裂，此時Jake Geismar，一位美國戰地通訊記者，此時卻重新回到這裡。他想要尋找當時與他交往的已婚婦女Lena，不過當美國大兵的屍體在波茨坦會議期間被在俄羅斯區域發現的時候，卻讓Jake的處境陷入了未知的危險。
●The bestselling author of Los Alamos and Alibi returns to 1945. Hitler has been defeated, and Berlin is divided into zones of occupation. Jake Geismar, an American correspondent who spent time in the city before the war, has returned to write about the Allied triumph while pursuing a more personal quest: his search for Lena, the married woman he left behind.
●When an American soldier’s body is found in the Russian zone during the Potsdam Conference, Jake stumbles on the lead to a murder mystery. The Good German is a story of espionage and love, an extraordinary re-creation of a city devastated by war, and a thriller that asks the most profound ethical questions in its exploration of the nature of justice, and what we mean by good and evil in times of peace and of war.
