Publisher Description
A secret State. A dark conspiracy. A terrible crime.
Karin Müller of the German Democratic Republic's People's Police is called to a factory in the east of the country. A man has been murdered - bound and trapped as a fire burned nearby, slowly suffocating him. But who is he? Why was he targeted? Could his murderer simply be someone with a grudge against the factory's nationalisation, as Müller's Stasi colleagues insist? Why too is her deputy Werner Tilsner behaving so strangely?
As more victims surface, it becomes clear that there is a cold-blooded killer out there taking their revenge. Soon Müller begins to realise that in order to solve these terrible crimes, she will need to delve into the region's dark past. But are the Stasi really working with her on this case? Or against her?
For those who really run this Republic have secrets they would rather remain uncovered. And they will stop at nothing to keep them that way . . .
A gripping and evocative crime thriller, moving between the devastating closing weeks of the Second World War and the Stasi-controlled 1970s, STASI 77 is David Young's most compelling and powerful novel yet.
Customer Reviews
A COMPELLING READ AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF A DESPICABLE NAZI ATROCITY
Daivid Young’s books provide a well researched and fascinating insight into life in the former East Germany. In addition, all his books, like ths one are of the “difficult to put down” variety.
In this story, a string of murders is set against the background of what, even by Nazi standards, waas an appalling demonstration of man’s inhumanity to man. I think the author suceeds in his aim of bringing it into the public domain and in itself is a fitting tribute to those wretched victims of the bestial behaviour of the Nazis. In helping the world remember this horror, it should not be forgotten that other inhuman acts continue to be perpetrated around the world.
Please keep writing David
