Summary

A man's body is found buried in concrete at a building site in the new town district。 When People's Police homicide captain Karin Müller arrives at the scene， she discovers that all of the body's identi？able features have been removed - including its ？ngertips。

The deeper Müller digs， the more the Stasi begin to hamper her investigations。 She soon realises that this crime is just one part of a clandestine battle between two secret services - the Stasi of East Germany and Britain's MI6 - to control the truth behind one of the deadliest events of World War II。

This book is listed as the last book in the Stasi series but the author hinted he might write one more。 I certainly hope so。Karin Muller has worked as a policewoman for many years in East Berlin。 She works for the criminal police and not the secret police， aka the Stasi， but there is a very fine line between the two。 Recently， Muller and her team have been assigned some politically sensitive cases， not to work united with the Stasi but to be the scapegoats when or if the case goes wrong。 Muller This book is listed as the last book in the Stasi series but the author hinted he might write one more。 I certainly hope so。Karin Muller has worked as a policewoman for many years in East Berlin。 She works for the criminal police and not the secret police， aka the Stasi， but there is a very fine line between the two。 Recently， Muller and her team have been assigned some politically sensitive cases， not to work united with the Stasi but to be the scapegoats when or if the case goes wrong。 Muller as well as members of her team were demoted in rank after their last case and this current case seems an excuse to fire， disband， or worse， imprison her and her team。 An excellent edition to the series and I hope there will be one more。 。。。more

The Stasi Game and another ‘dip’ back into the darker days of the GDR and the political expediency exercised by the “Secret Police”。David Young has once more captured the uncertainty and frustrations of a police officer in the People’s Police force。 As we follow Karin Müller and her small team in this riveting and disturbing thriller series。 Generally speaking they have as little freedom as the rest of the East German population and never stray from the observation and control of the Ministry fo The Stasi Game and another ‘dip’ back into the darker days of the GDR and the political expediency exercised by the “Secret Police”。David Young has once more captured the uncertainty and frustrations of a police officer in the People’s Police force。 As we follow Karin Müller and her small team in this riveting and disturbing thriller series。 Generally speaking they have as little freedom as the rest of the East German population and never stray from the observation and control of the Ministry for Security - The Stasi。Karin’s own career seems to be over in terms of authority and scope to conduct investigations。 She has few allies left supporting her and watching her team’s back， indeed she seems to be a detective in a name only。Although The Stasi have been all over the case her team are sent to Dresden to give the illusion of a murder investigation being resolved。 In actual fact this is indeed window dressing and slight of hand。 The Stasi want nothing of the actual truth revealed just the motions gone through masking their concerns and involvement。It has ever been the case in all Karin’s work。 But what marks her out is a tenacity to find the truth and follow up even the most obscure leads uncovered。However， beyond the usual manipulation of her working brief she has a sense that the overseeing powers want her to fail sufficiently with blame such that her career is over。Again the author has expanded facts and research into these times to fashion with great imagination a historical thriller。 The use of saturation bombing during World War II and the reprisals by the Allies in cities like Dresden is key to this novel。 These factors of using the political fallout in Western Europe the rise of the wall and influence of state control makes this quite a unique series of detective novels。 Overlaying fact with a fiction that reflects the experiences of the German people and the rise of East Germany yet avoiding many of the clichés of early spy fiction。Indeed Karin is an interesting protagonist。 A loyal socialist， a believer in the principles of the state despite her own experiences and crooked hand dealt by those above her。Her uncertainty and confusion have previously infringed upon her work but never left her renouncing her core values。 She is therefore a great character for readers to get behind and her setback and endangerment leaves those following her story distressed and desperate she overcomes。 So the pages of the book come alive in Karin’s presence and the words depicting her actions and work to solve this murder investigation seem to contain a latent energy like the buzz around some power lines。Her motivation is clear and focused even when others seek to confuse， thwart and undermine her investigation。 As a by-stander and witness to her betrayal you want to save her which propels you through the pages in equal measure of fear and uncertainty。I liked the author’s care and support to new readers to his books。 His introduction and Author’s note will help those coming fresh to this series。 I think these are a remarkable collection of books with a strong female lead whose biggest disadvantage is having employers who want to suppress or modify the truth。 This parallels her inner struggles with a regime that has noticeable benefits， given her a career but saps her integrity and sense of justice。If this is the final adventure for her then I can report that despite all efforts to the contrary she has remained true to her self， and， as the author， David Young has remained faithful to his many readers。 。。。more

Not convinced by the story。。。。。as in the last book I read in this series （Stasi 77） I found the characters lacked integrity and their situations in the story unbelievable。 The first 2 novels in the series were more chilling and atmospheric but as the series continued the stories did not hang together in a believable way and the characters， including Karin Muller， were poorly realised。 The story lines and endings became more predicable as with `The Stasi Game` the reader `knows` how it will end f Not convinced by the story。。。。。as in the last book I read in this series （Stasi 77） I found the characters lacked integrity and their situations in the story unbelievable。 The first 2 novels in the series were more chilling and atmospheric but as the series continued the stories did not hang together in a believable way and the characters， including Karin Muller， were poorly realised。 The story lines and endings became more predicable as with `The Stasi Game` the reader `knows` how it will end from fairly early on in the book。 。。。more

Mark Allinson ，

Maybe the best of the series （so far？）。 The story propels forwards at lively pace， this time with the added complication of British involvement。 Largely set in Dresden， well drawn in the accurate detail as ever。 David Young’s plot suggests a particular reading of the city’s wartime experience and it seems clear that he is committed to this view， notwithstanding the neutrality of his disclaimer at the end。 Still hoping that this series will continue through the 1980s。

I’ve just finished this book and I feel a little disappointed because I was expecting a better ending， I started feeling that this book wasn’t really about Karin but Arnold。 And the most important thing this book didn’t have an exciting case like all the others before。。 regardless I’m so grateful for all the excitement and joy you’ve brought me。 #peace

Muller and Tilsner have a murder to solve。 They have both been demoted， and still at the beck and call of the Stasi。 This time， the murder involves a British man researching the bombing of Dresden in 1945。 Murder， suicide and espionage。 A fitting end to the series。 But I am left wanting more。

The Stasi Game is David Young's sixth （and final） Karin Müller mystery and is one of his best， if not the best。At the heart of the story is the Dresden bombing by US and RAF planes in February 1945 which reduced that beautiful city to rubble。 This was part of the Second World War which the Allies will not wish to remember fondly。 The sub-plot， if you like， is the performance enhancing doping of young children in GDR's state sports schools。 This disgraceful cheating was by no means confined to th The Stasi Game is David Young's sixth （and final） Karin Müller mystery and is one of his best， if not the best。At the heart of the story is the Dresden bombing by US and RAF planes in February 1945 which reduced that beautiful city to rubble。 This was part of the Second World War which the Allies will not wish to remember fondly。 The sub-plot， if you like， is the performance enhancing doping of young children in GDR's state sports schools。 This disgraceful cheating was by no means confined to the GDR but， judging by results， they seemed to be better at it than most。Karin has to solve the murder of a man found buried in concrete while being misled at all tines by different factions of the Stasi。 The plot is quite complex but the very satisfactory wrap-up ensures that the reader's patience is rewarded。 Despite doing many things well， the GDR does come across as a cold， corrupt inhospitable place in the author's novels and many citizens live in a permanent state of mistrust of their neighbours， friends and family because of the invasive nature of the Stasi。 There's a kind of good cop/bad cop theme running through the narrative which at times lends further confusion to Karen's efforts to solve the mystery。 The end is both satisfactory and exciting。 A splendidly readable series。David Lowther。 Author of The Blue Pencil， Liberating Belsen， Two Families at War and The Summer of '39， all published by Sacristy Press。 。。。more

It’s a while since I read the earlier Karin Mueller books and I feel I must re read them。 This is possibly the last in the series which would be a shame as they are all very atmospheric to the time and place or at least feel that way。 Perhaps not my favourite but still and interesting and enjoyable read。

I am sad to read that this is likely to be the last book in the Karin Müller series。 I've been reading these books voraciously since the first one， Stasi Child。 I am fascinated by any books focussing on the Cold War and WWII and this book focussed on both。 In 1982 Dresden， Karin and her not so happy team are trying to solve a murder case， with the Stasi breathing down their necks at every turn （as per usual。） There are also scenes interspersed with Karin's that focus on a German girl named Lotti I am sad to read that this is likely to be the last book in the Karin Müller series。 I've been reading these books voraciously since the first one， Stasi Child。 I am fascinated by any books focussing on the Cold War and WWII and this book focussed on both。 In 1982 Dresden， Karin and her not so happy team are trying to solve a murder case， with the Stasi breathing down their necks at every turn （as per usual。） There are also scenes interspersed with Karin's that focus on a German girl named Lotti and her exploits with an English boy （later a man） named Arnie; their intertwined tale is a particularly poignant one as it focusses on the bombing raids performed on Hull and Dresden both during WWII。 This was a particularly a thrilling tale that I found to be amongst my favourites of the series。 It's certainly a strong ending to a certainly equally strong series。 （and that ending！ I didn't expect "that" to happen but I won't spoil "that" for those that haven't read it yet。） It would be sad to say goodbye to these characters （and it would be nice to meet up with them again at some point in the future even if it is "only" in the form of re-reads。） In the meantime， the author's working on a new series （which I will be looking forward to reading when the books are published！） 。。。more

Excellent book and tells the chillingly realistic tale of how the police （criminal） not only had to solve crimes in the East， but had to do so with the Stasi always watching and manipulating them。 It seems that Muller the lead detective， is continually thwarted and nudged into doing what the other powers want her to do。Interlinked is the sad tale of two young people who met during a holiday， she a German， he a boy from Hull， who are to meet again later in life but under very different circumstan Excellent book and tells the chillingly realistic tale of how the police （criminal） not only had to solve crimes in the East， but had to do so with the Stasi always watching and manipulating them。 It seems that Muller the lead detective， is continually thwarted and nudged into doing what the other powers want her to do。Interlinked is the sad tale of two young people who met during a holiday， she a German， he a boy from Hull， who are to meet again later in life but under very different circumstances。 They also both suffered during WW2 with the bombings of Hull and Dresden。Muller has a murder to solve but also to find out the identify of a man who died a horrible death， hit over the head and then buried in concrete。 The Stasi probably know who he is but there is a bigger picture to this death and also with regards to the two friends who meet again。 Typically sinister; trust is impossible。Muller and her children have even more problems to deal with on top of this job of hers。 At their new school， they are being 'programmed' to become the latest East German elite in the sports world and will be plied with drugs to achieve this。Muller and her little team do all they can to solver the murder， find the identity of the dead man， why they killed him and why the British are involved too as well as rescue her children。Good read， recommend to all interested in the goings on of East Germany in the 1980s。 。。。more

I have loved this series from the very beginning and Karin Müller is one of my favourite heroines。 Of course， it doesn't hurt that I'm fascinated by East Germany in the postwar years。 Karin has changed over the years。 She still supports the Republic but she knows now better than anyone what the Stasi are capable of。 And we've reached the early 80s so time is running out for the regime。 This is such a good story， which， like the previous novel， looks back to the dark days of the Second World War I have loved this series from the very beginning and Karin Müller is one of my favourite heroines。 Of course， it doesn't hurt that I'm fascinated by East Germany in the postwar years。 Karin has changed over the years。 She still supports the Republic but she knows now better than anyone what the Stasi are capable of。 And we've reached the early 80s so time is running out for the regime。 This is such a good story， which， like the previous novel， looks back to the dark days of the Second World War and the setting in Dresden is an evocative one。 David Young knows his subject well and reading these novels is an immersive experience。 There's a good chance， very sadly， that the series ends with The Stasi Game。 Its certainly a fine conclusion but I can't help hoping there'll be more。 Review to follow shortly on For Winter Nights。 。。。more

Love this series and I really hope it doesn't end here as I'd love to know what happens to Karin next。 I took one star off as I felt the plot was a bit Deus Ex Machina at times and predictable。 Nevertheless the characters are very well drawn and consistent with the previous books in this series。 I look forward to reading more from this author and he is definitely an authority on the history of the former GDR。 Love this series and I really hope it doesn't end here as I'd love to know what happens to Karin next。 I took one star off as I felt the plot was a bit Deus Ex Machina at times and predictable。 Nevertheless the characters are very well drawn and consistent with the previous books in this series。 I look forward to reading more from this author and he is definitely an authority on the history of the former GDR。 。。。more

‘The Stasi Game’ is the sixth， and allegedly the last， book in the series featuring Karin Muller。 I have read and adored every single book in the series。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘The Stasi Game’ but more about that in a bit。‘The Stasi Game’ really appealed to me because the story takes place in a country that I love （Germany）， some of the language used gives me the excuse to use my German degree （which I haven’t used since the day I graduated） by saying the words out loud and it involves a ‘The Stasi Game’ is the sixth， and allegedly the last， book in the series featuring Karin Muller。 I have read and adored every single book in the series。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘The Stasi Game’ but more about that in a bit。‘The Stasi Game’ really appealed to me because the story takes place in a country that I love （Germany）， some of the language used gives me the excuse to use my German degree （which I haven’t used since the day I graduated） by saying the words out loud and it involves a period of history which fascinates me and I don’t really know that much about- that of post war Germany， when the country was literally split in two。 I went to Berlin with my Sixth Form History group not that long after reunification and even though a few years had passed， the differences between East and West Berlin were still really evident。 Anyway sorry about my burblings about Germany and back to the review I do go。I was drawn into this story from the moment I caught a glimpse of the cover of ‘The Stasi Game’ and the story within the book’s covers sealed the deal as it were。 I knew that I was going to be in for one hell of a fantastic read and then some。 I was spot on too。 I started reading the book in the morning and I had it finished by late afternoon。 The story was that good that I just couldn’t put the book down for fear of missing something and I had a need to know what happened。 For me， ‘The Stasi Game’ really was an unputdownable， page turner of a read。 I hope that this isn’t the last we see of Karin Muller or of East Germany- hint hint。‘The Stasi Game’ is superbly written but then I have thought that to be true of the whole series。 The fact that David Young is so passionate about East Germany and the fact that he has done lots of careful research into the Stasi etc helps the overall story seem that bit more authentic。 I literally felt as though I had borrowed the Tardis from Dr。 Who and travelled back in time to 1980s East Germany。 I love the way in which David Young weaves historical fact into the story and makes you look at things in another light。 That’s how I felt at any rate。 For me， ‘The Stasi Game’ was a tightly plotted， tense， atmospheric and dramatic page turner of a read that gripped me from start to finish and had me on the edge of my seat throughout。In short I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘The Stasi Game’ and I would recommend it to other readers。 I will certainly be reading more of David’s work in the future。 The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*。 。。。more
