Book Description
A chance encounter with a Lebanese singer draws a young man deep into Berlin’s underground scene – a world of communes, artist collectives, politicised flash mobs, transvestite cabaret acts and shisha dens.
But as her former lovers start to die or disappear, he realises that her love might come at a terrible cost.
Intertwined with his tale are two unearthed voices from the city’s past: an East German border guard writing to his lover on the other side of the Wall, and a teenage girl in hiding, soon after the fall of Nazi Berlin, living in daily fear of discovery by rampaging Soviet soldiers.
A mystery/thriller, The Killing Strip is a novel about a city and the disparate people who inhabit it, exploring the notions of freedom, obsession – and the walls inside us all.
