As Police officer Sophia Künstler slips through the backstreets of Berlin looking for sex, Kathe, her old GDR friend, is murdered in the park near Sophia's apartment. Outside Sophia’s home a frightened girl waits. Sophia is thrown back into a shocking past when she returns to her East German home town of Breden to investigate Kathe’s murder. She must confront the horrors she left behind as a teenager in a secret and bloody flight west, orchestrated by her enigmatic father Petrus. But as old lies are laid bare Sophie begins to realize the secrets she is hunting down are also her own.

Anne Lauppe Dunbar is a creative writing tutor at Swansea University, where she also studied for her PhD. She had a short story published in Sing Sorrow Sorrow (ed Gwen Davies, Seren) and has had stories, essays, papers and poems published with Cinnamon Press, Seventh Quarry and New Welsh Review. She says: ‘I wrote Dark Mermaids as my refugee mother’s daughter: a child of the GDR who fled westwards carrying arcane knowledge of a country in which secrets and lies were endemic.’ In writing the novel Anne has extensively researched what is known of athletes doping and training in the area of East Germany she writes about.
