March Violets takes place right before the Nazis gain control of Germany, The Pale Criminal is during the Reich, and a German Requiem takes place after the war.
In the first book, March Violets, Gunther investigates a seemingly straightforward arson/murder/robbbery as Berlin hosts the famous 1936 Olympic Games; there is still some hope for the city in the recent memory of Germans cheering as Jesse Owens single-handedly destroyed the notion of a superior Aryan race.
Content: I have only read 'March violets' so far, but have to say that I was engrossed by the way Kerr captured the time period.

 TrouserPress.com :: March Violets
The March Violets began in 1981 as one of Leeds' four famous drum machine bands, alongside the Sisters of Mercy, Three Johns and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.
The Violets favored stark, primitive rhythm-box beats (as did the others), overlaid by Loz Elliott's heavy bass throb and Tom Ashton's inventively droning guitar (reminiscent of Magazine's John McGeoch).
Before a schism with Andrew Eldritch led the Violets to start their own Rebirth label, they were on the Sisters' label, Merciful Release, starting with Religious as Hell, an establishing 7-inch.

 March Violets - Philip Kerr - Penguin Group (USA)
Hailed by Salman Rushdie as a “brilliantly innovative thriller-writer,” Philip Kerr is the creator of taut, gripping, noir-tinged mysteries that are nothing short of spellbinding.
The first book of the Berlin Noir trilogy, March Violets introduces readers to Bernie Gunther, an ex-policeman who thought he’d seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin—until he turned freelance and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture.
Hard-hitting, fast-paced, and richly detailed, March Violets is noir writing at its flest and best.

Private Investigator Bernie Gunther was a cop during Berlin's heady Weimar years of Isherwood and Döblin (of Louise Brooks and Marlene Dietrich) but as a PI in Nazi Germany, he's working altogether meaner streets, where every investigation comes back to the corruption, rot, and evil behind the fancy uniforms of the Third Reich...

 Jungle Records - March Violets   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
By this time, Rosie had left to be replaced by Cleo; they toured frequently and released another No. 1 indie single 'Walk Into The Sun', inevitably gaining interest from major record companies.
Always highly charged and unstable, the Violets finally imploded on Christmas Eve 1984; Simon D left to form the Batfish Boys and the rest of the band went A.O.R. in America.
For the first time on CD, this compilation is the complete recordings 1982-84 featuring all eighteen tracks from their first five singles from Merciful Release and Rebirth Records, all of which have been long unavailable and highly sought after.

 In The Western Sky
The March Violets were a great band......a really great band.
They were labelmates with The Sisters of Mercy, yet darker and infinitely more messed up than them, and through constant gigging they became integral to the whole Leeds/M62 scene in the early/mid 1980s.
Thus we present you with the March Violets forum.
