Evil winter looming.
Gestapo, KGB, Cheka .... STATSI
The grim nomenclature of the very terrible.
The secret police have embodied all the worst fears of our democratic fabric
Their tactics include arrest, imprisonment, torture, and execution of political enemies and intimidation of potential opposition.
This is the world that writer David Young explores once again where the East German state's power is "absolute, history is re-written, and the 'truth' is whatever the Stasi say it is."
In this his fourth working of the dark Statsi imbroglio we are introduced in the opening stanza to Wildcat, a compelling code name for an extraordinary operator.
The lure is compelling.
Bring on the full story of Mr Young's Statsi Winter.
