Hitler and Avery Brundage, the head of the U.S. Olympic Committee, have connived to soft pedal Nazi anti Semitism and convince America to participate.

Berlin, 1934: Los nazis han logrado asegurar que los juegos olimpicos de 1936 se celebren en la ciudad pero enfrentan resistencia del exterior. Hitler y Avery Brundage, jefe del comite olimpico de los Estados Unidos, se confabulan para suavizar el antisemitismo nazi y convencer a los americanos a participar en los juegos. Bernie Gunther, el detective de planta de un hotel de lujo en Berlin, se ve arrastrado a este mundo de corrupcion y doble juego, atrapado en una guerra entre facciones del aparato nazi. Habana, 1954: Batista, apoyado por la CIA, toma el poder. Castro se encuentra tras las rejas y la mafia americana esta a un punto de asumir el control total de las lucrativas industrias de la prostitucion y los casinos. Bernie, quien ha sido expulsado sin ceremonia alguna de Buenos Aires, reaparece en Cuba para comenzar una vida nueva, regida por la rutina y la paz, pero descubre que no puede dejar atras su pasado. Estando en Cuba se topa con un asesino despiadado de sus dias en Berlin, a quien encuentran despues misteriosamente asesinado, y a una vieja amante, quien podria ser la asesina. Si los muertos no resucitan tiene todos los elementos que los admiradores de Philip Kerr esperan: intriga, una trama torcida y cerrada, liÂneas ingeniosas y un final tenso, pero aun mas significativo, un Bernie Gunther mas rico y sabio.
