An exploration of the Green Belt conservation project between the former East and West Germanies and its relationship to emergent ecosystems, trauma, and memorialization. The first book-length scholarly treatment of Germany’s largest conservation project, the Green Belt, Mnemonic Ecologies by Sonja Pieck presents a new interdisciplinary approach: that effective restoration and conservation of wounded land must merge ecology with memory. Since the Cold War’s end in 1989, German conservationists have transformed the once-militarized border between East and West Germany into an extensive protected area. Yet as forests, meadows, and wetlands replace fences, minefields, and guard towers, ecol...

Maestro

Louis Passau is America’s greatest living orchestral conductor, a legendary, world-acclaimed artist whose ninetieth birthday will be marked by a glittering celebratory concert at New York’s Lincoln Center. But a double shadow hangs over the event: Passau has recently been accused of spying for Hitler and, worse, the British Secret Intelligence Service have now linked his name to KGB clandestine operations in the USA during the Cold War. The Maestro agrees to be interrogated, but only after the concert. British Intelligence call in Big Herbie Kruger to question the Maestro, and thanks to the once-famous agent-runner Passau survives an assassination attempt in his moment of glory. Still a target, he now insists on dealing only with Kruger, who desperately seeks a safe-house to conduct the debriefing. As he grapples with the elusive truth about the conductor – from the man’s first memories of his Bavarian village, to his adventures as a young immigrant in New York, his experiences in Capone’s Chicago and his ruthless rise to fame and fortune – Herbie Kruger finds himself ensnared in the Maestro’s dangerous secrets and deceits.

Confessor

A terrorist car bomb, and death comes quickly to The Confessor, aka Gus Keene, the best interrogator the Secret Intelligence Service ever had. But he becomes infinitely more mysterious in death when Big Herbie Kruger, torn from self-inflicted retirement, is summoned to delve into the dead man’s past. As he begins to peel back the layers of Keen’s life, he uncovers a man of hidden depths, a man who knew more than he should about Government secrets. Soon the trail leads Kruger to the unholy alliance of a renegade IRA cell and a vicious Middle Eastern terrorist group intent upon wreaking havoc across Europe. Somewhere in their razed scenario lie the clues to Keene’s death. But Kruger must pick his way through the chaos of treachery and violence to find them . . .

Annie Veit, die in einem thüringischen Dorf aufwächst, spioniert ihrer schönen, extravaganten Mutter nach und verliebt sich in den gleichen älteren Mann, den auch die Mutter begehrt, Jan Pajak. Ihn und den abgelegenen Hof, die «Brandstatt», umgibt ein Geheimnis. Ist er Schuld am Verschwinden der Dorfschönheit Lydia? Doch auch Jan verschwindet. Annie studiert in Berlin, liebt komisch-verzweifelt und mit völlig ungerechtfertigter Hingabe Leo, den kühl-überheblichen Intellektuellen, bis es selbst Annie reicht. Sie findet Jan wieder und lebt nun aus, was der Mutter und ihr selbst als allzu junges Mädchen verwehrt war. Aber etwas ist wirklich ungut. Spannend, in einer schönen, bildhaften Sprache, raffiniert komponiert und voller intelligenter Beobachtungen erzählt Anousch Mueller in ihrem Debütroman von Liebe, Abhängigkeit und Gewalt und davon, wie man der Versagung entkommt.

The Garden of Weapons

“In our world we live on lies.” When Big Herbie Kruger used those words to break the KGB defector, he didn’t realize just how much his own life had been built on a lie. In his world, though, where love is just another conduit for information, it could be no other way. Now the lies planted when Herbie created his network in East Berlin have borne their bitter fruit. The lives of men and women who trusted him are in danger and his masters in British Intelligence won’t let him go back to Berlin to help them. Herbie Kruger has no choice, then. He must tell what may be his final lie . . .
