Ooooooo I hope that a) this series is produced, b) that they
don't screw it up, and c) it's shown someplace that I can
actually *see* it (or can buy it on DVD).

The books were excellent! The only thing that bummed me out
about them is that Philip Kerr died before a book that=20
gave Bernie a proper ending (living happily ever after or
not).

I highly recommend the books to anyone interested in the
history of that era and/or very good mysteries.

Nyssa, who hasn't been this excited about a possible TV
show or movie in a looooong time
