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.

Stunningly authentic and brimming with moral ambiguity, Stasi Winter is the thrilling new novel from the award-winning author of Stasi Child.
