This, without doubt, is a page-turner made engaging thanks to the author's outstanding descriptive powers and the evocations of his locations in terms of both time and place. A good, lively read.

Synopsis

Book 5 of 6: The Oberleutnant Karin Müller series

IN EAST GERMANY, SOLVING A MURDER CAN GET YOU KILLED...

In 1978 East Germany, nothing is as it seems. The state's power is absolute, history is re-written, and the 'truth' is whatever the Stasi say it is.

So when a woman's murder is officially labelled 'accidental death', Major Karin Müller of the People's Police is faced with a dilemma. To solve the crime, she must disregard the official version of events. But defying the Stasi means putting her own life - and the lives of her young family - in danger.

As the worst winter in living memory holds Germany in its freeze, Müller must untangle a web of state secrets and make a choice: between truth and lies, justice and injustice, and, ultimately, life and death.
