____________________________________
East Berlin, 1975 - When Oberleutnant Karin Müller is called to
investigate a teenage girl's body at the foot of the Wall, she imagines
she's seen it all before. But when she arrives she realises this is a
death like no other. It seems the girl was trying to escape - but from
the West.
Müller is a member of the People's Police, but in East Germany her power
only stretches so far. The Stasi want her to discover the identity of
the girl, but assure her the case is otherwise closed - and strongly
discourage her from asking questions.
The evidence doesn't add up, and it soon becomes clear the crime scene
has been staged. But this is not a regime that tolerates a curious mind,
and Müller doesn't realise that the trail she's following will lead her
dangerously close to home . . .
Stunningly authentic and brimming with moral ambiguity, STASI CHILD is
the thrilling debut thriller for fans of Child 44 and An Officer and a
Spy by Robert Harris.
