Self's Punishment

by BERNHARD SCHLINK - WALTER POPP, Walter Popp
Self's Punishment - Thryft
Self's Punishment - Thryft

Eccentric detective investigates sinister hacking crimes.

"Self's Punishment" is a thrilling detective novel that stands out for its unique protagonist, Gerhard Self, an aging private detective who is both charismatic and unconventional. The book takes a modern twist with the focus on computer-hacking incidents at a chemicals company. As Self investigates the incidents, he uncovers dark secrets that have long been hidden. This novel is a great fit for anyone who enjoys thrillers that are fast-paced, modern, and center around a character who isn't like your traditional detective.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Gerhard Self, the seventy-something, sambuca-drinking, Sweet-Afton smoking sleuth returns in a riveting new mystery about money-laundering, murder, and mafiosi.Despite his failing health and his girlfriend's pleading, Gerhard Self won't stop doing what he does best—investigating. And his most recent case is one of the most intriguing of his career. Herr Welker desperately wants to write a history of his bank, but to do so he needs Self to track down a mysterious silent partner. Self takes the job, but is soon accosted by a man who frantically hands him a suitcase full of cash and speeds off in a car, only to crash into a tree, dying instantly. Perplexed, and convinced there is more to the case than he is being told, Self follows the money. Soon he finds himself traveling to eastern Germany, where he encounters some of the most unsavory villains he has met yet.
