FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Behind the Berlin Wall a dissident is on the trail of a killer This "compelling" series (Fiona Rintoul, Leipzig Affair) is set in an East Germany that didnt end in 1990. 1993. After forty years of communist rule its time for change: participatory democracy, citizens movements and de-centralization are part of a new political landscape in East Berlin. But when a politicians crushed body is found a constitutional crisis erupts. Ex-dissident Martin Grobe turns detective and his investigations point towards the Stasi, the KGB and the West Germans--has he uncovered a putsch against the new GDR, or is it just a conspiracy to murder? Review A compelling re-imagining of East Germanys peaceful revolution in 1989--exploring what might have been. As Europe grapples with the consequences of austerity, this novel poses questions both about the lost chances of 1989, and about how we organise our society--questions that are becoming more relevant with each passing day. Fiona Rintoul, author of THE LEIPZIG AFFAIRAn authentic atmosphere of tension and uncertainty ... The brilliance of Stealing the Future lies in the honest portrayal of a young country and its idealistic inhabitants struggling to keep alive their dream of freedom, justice and equality in the face of international and domestic opposition. Jo Lateu, NEW INTERNATIONALISTAn intriguing and gripping page-turner of a thriller, richly researched detail making it believable and exciting. More than that, though, its an exploration of power - political, economic and electric power; and what it might be like, day to day, to put our ideals and hopes for self-determination into practice.
