***WINNER OF THE CWA ENDEAVOUR HISTORICAL DAGGER***
The bestselling chilling crime thriller - perfect for fans of Child 44 and Deutschland 83
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 . . .
Stasi Child is David Young's brilliant and page-turning debut novel.

A wonderfully astute and forensic blend of fact and fiction, lies and truth. (William Boyd)This is a brilliantly unsettling book; its shrewd, measured, darkly atmospheric prose describes the societal, familial and psychological conditions that make it possible to find burnt corpses in fire-proof houses.

As the characters stumble into each others' trajectories, the author pulls off the feat of being both forensic and forgiving (Spectator)This debut is well worth reading...George offers a range of keenly observed representations, from expatriate malaise to the sheer difficulty of poverty; his psychologies are subtle and wry, his honesties amuse as much as they wound and he displays a ventriloquist's talent for voices as various as the black American and white Zimbabwean (Literary Review) --ReviewsCompelling . . .

2 internautes sur 2 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile.Un polar dans le Berlin divisé entre est et ouestPar LousineAvec ce livre nous vivons une plongée dans l’ambiance de la RDA des années 70. Les deux protagonistes sont le lieutenant Müller et son adjoint le lieutenant Tilsner.Ce roman est une alternance de chapitres suivant leur enquête pour identifier la victime de tirs effectués depuis le mur (mais sur une personne fuyant de l’ouest vers l’est et non pas l’inverse comme il est courant à l’époque) et de chapitres suivant les aventures de la vie d’une jeune fille en maison de correction à Prora Ost sur l’île de Rügen (également en Allemagne de l’Est).On est rapidement plongés dans l’intrigue et embarqués dans les péripéties des 2 protagoniste, membres de la police criminelle. A un moment bien choisi du récit, on note une accélération bienvenue de ces péripéties.L’intrigue est une fiction mais est inspirée de nombreux faits réels et historiques comme nous le précise l’auteur dans sa note de fin avec l’explication de chaque inspiration pour différents points de son roman.J’ai beaucoup aimé suivre les aventures de ces 2 personnages et je recommande grandement la lecture de ce roman à ceux qui aiment les polars avec ancrage dans l’Histoire.
