Stasi Vice

An East German Crime Novel (Reim, Book 1)

For Lieutenant Reim of the Stasi, life in East Berlin is a satisfying blend of days behind a desk and nights in front of a bottle.

But, when a senior officer has a messy affair, it falls to Reim to do the clearing up.

It should be a straightforward job; lean on a few people to get them to shut up, intimidate neighbors, bribe officials, and appeal to the socialist conscience of party members. But, when Reim starts his interrogations, he realizes his boss is hiding more than just a lover.

Lieutenant Reim begins to investigate his superior - and what he uncovers puts his own life at risk.

Cracking DDR crime from the author of the East Berlin series.
