David Young has written several books that I have devoured including Stasi 77, Stasi State and Stasi Child.
This cold war thriller is intellectual and gripping....couldn't put the book down once I had started it.
Set in 1978 when the Stasi have ultimate power to control the news.
A woman's murder gets blamed on accidental death and Major Karin Muller is determined to get to the heart of the matter even if it does mean defying the Stasi establishment.
The worst winter weather in living memory hampers the investigation but Muller works to untangle the state secrets and to expose the truth despite the danger this puts her in. She is a determined and well written heroine.
The story is fast paced and the plotting is impeccable.
Read it.
