If the cold doesn't kill you, the truth will... and in East Germany, solving a murder can get you killed. During the worst winter in 100 years in East Germany in 1978, 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. Brimming with moral ambiguity, this is a stunningly authentic crime thriller with plenty of twists and turns and a great protagonist. 354pp, paperback.
