Plan D Résumé

Plan D Simon Urban

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 GDRs 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 Harriss Fatherland and John le Carres The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.

Plan D Avis

A superb alt-timeline thriller that recalls Robert Harriss Fatherland * Financial Times *
Simon Urban has created an imaginative alternate landscape that is so absurdly believable I had to remind myself, occasionally, that it wasn't the real world. And all was the backdrop to a conspiracy, wrapped in secrets, covered in deception. Compulsive reading, I devoured it -- Will Carver
A gripping journey into an alternate past - Plan D is the epitome of what a great thriller should be -- William Ryan
A genuine page turner. But its also a book about the nature of dictatorships. It shows why dictatorship is possible, how dictatorship is done and what it does to people -- Juli Zeh
Vividly imagined and described...a very good read -- Jessica Mann * Literary Review *
