Brandenburg

Berlin. A political activist is assassinated. Asuncion. A smuggler is killed in a hit-and-run incident. An elderly businessman blows his brains out. A journalist who suspects a link between the deaths is himself brutally murdered.

Strasbourg. Joseph Volkmann, an agent with the EC's newly-formed security unit, is getting a feeling of deja-vu. What he is about to uncover is an audacious plan that will turn the clock of European history back half a century.

Set against the backdrop of a reunified Germany where nationalist feelings are resurfacing for the first time in fifty years, 'Brandenburg' is a gripping mixture of spellbinding invention and tantalising fact that heralds the arrival of a major new talent for the nineties.
