«Un hiver à Mannheim» is the crime novel by Bernhard Schlink, published by Gallimard in paperback (348 pages, in French).
Detective Gerhard Selb, a former prosecutor marked by his past during Nazism, investigates the disappearance of a seemingly innocent young woman pursued by a stranger. The search leads Selb to a psychiatric clinic and a plot the government tries to conceal, in a world where lies are a commodity.
Second instalment in the Gerhard Selb detective series. The German original, «Selbs Betrug», dates from 1992; this French edition, from 2000, was published in the Série Noire collection.
A read for those seeking European crime fiction with a veteran detective and political and historical undertones.
