I've read David Young's other four books, and can't wait for this one. The cover shows it's clearly in the same mould as the previous Karin Muller stories, and that's great. I was even more encouraged by reading that we're returning to Rugen, a location of a previous Muller adventure; and that threads from that novel are being picked up. The description of the harsh winter and author's note suggests this book will have the same attention to historical detail that we've become used to from Young.
