Plan D | Simon Urban

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

October 2011. While West Berlin enjoys all the trappings of capitalism, on the crowded, polluted, Eastern side of the Wall, the GDR is facing bankruptcy. The ailing government's only hope lies in economic talks with the West, but then an ally of the GDR’s chairman is found murdered – and all the clues suggest that his killer came from within the Stasi. Detective Martin Wegener is assigned to the case, but, with the future of East Germany hanging over him, Wegener must work with the West German police if he is to find the killer, even if it means investigating the Stasi themselves. It is a journey that will take him from Stasi meeting rooms to secret prisons as he begins to unravel the identity of both victim and killer, and the meaning of the mysterious Plan D. Plan D is a gripping thriller and a thought-provoking alternative history in the vein of Robert Harris’s Fatherland and John le Carré’s The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.

One of the best works of fiction I've read in the past years. Read it 3 times: once in Dutch, twice in German. And I really recommend the German version because of the compound sentences which can easily fill half a page. The picture of a modern day version of East Germany that is painted here just works and makes you feel the gloom of that 'modern' society.

Just finished this...late Sunday afternoon. Alternative history: the Berlin Wall has not fallen. East German detective must work with West German policeman to solve a killing that holds political and economic repercussions for both countries. So believable with betrayals and conspiracies applicable in current world. Another grumpy nihilistic cop to love.
