In 'The Night of the Generals', Hans Hellmut Kirst immerses us in a plot of intrigue and murder that extends from the darkest moments of the German occupation in Warsaw to decades after the war. Major Grau, a Wehrmacht police officer, faces the challenge of solving the brutal murder of a prostitute, where the main suspect is a German general. The investigation leads Grau to Paris, where new murders further complicate the case. This detective novel, adapted into film in 1967, intertwines fiction with historical events, raising moral dilemmas about life in times of war and peace, all narrated with Kirst's characteristic biting vision and impassive humor.
Hans Hellmut Kirst was a German novelist and the author of 46 books, many of which were translated into English. Kirst is best remembered as the creator of the "Gunner Asch" series which detailed the ongoing struggle of an honest individual to maintain his identity and humanity amidst the criminality and corruption of Nazi Germany.
