Acts of Omission
Electronic book text
1998: a new era. A young government.
Minister Mark Lucas is set a conundrum. A disk containing the names of British informants to the Stasi has fallen into government hands. The files were spirited out of Germany by the British before the Wall came down in '89. Ten years into reunification, the Germans want them back in order to complete their opening of the Stasi archive. Lucas is personally sympathetic - but forces within the government are determined not to let this happen. And there's a further complication: it transpires the intelligence services have managed to lose the disk. When it is delivered to the newspaper where journalist Anna Travers works, she finds herself unravelling not just a mystery, but many people's lives - including her own. Someone from her past links her to the biggest political story of the moment.Buy now!
