    For Otto Fischer, time has run out. The 1958 elections to West Berlin's House of Representatives - the Abgeordnetenhaus - have seen the SPD increase their majority, and Fischer is one of their second-vote candidates. He will go to the House not just as a servant of the people but of General Zarubin also - a Soviet agent in the West's forward trench.A reluctant spy, Fischer doesn't suspect the worst of it. Zarubin is engulfed in a power struggle with the Head of KGB, the fearsome Ivan Serov, and part of their battle will be fought on the streets of Berlin. Even in a world bound by misdirection, misinformation and betrayal, the protagonists lose all sense of who may be trusted and who needs a bullet, quickly. Fischer needs a way out, but no exits are marked. Ordered to make a place for himself in Mayor Willy Brandt's office, pestered by his old friend Freddie Holleman to come clean about his political career, and shadowed by someone with old business to settle, he has to make himself either invisible or indigestible.

    Germany, 1947. A ruined nation, divided by its conquerors, waits upon a future it has no part in shaping. Already, the Allied demarcation lines are hardening into something else, and foot soldiers are being recruited for the emerging struggle between ideologies. Some men shape themselves to fit a new world; others cover their faces and hide from the consequences of their crimes.Otto Fischer has only half a face, and no idea where to point it. He is an ex-policemen who hates police work, a former parachutist in a country with no air-force, a forcibly retired intelligence officer with no secrets to keep - except one. In Berlin, his old friend Freddie Holleman lives under a false identity. He is a rising star in the German Communist Party and one of the few effective police officers struggling to establish order in a lawless city. But as he attempts to bring to justice a killer of children he becomes a pawn - a disposable piece in a game for which the rules have yet to be set down. Fischer can see only one way to save Holleman, and that is to give both sides what they want without giving them anything. In the fog of a strange new war, information is currency and he knows everything. He just hasn't made it up yet.

    Berlin, September 1948: the first great skirmish of the Cold War. Fearing that Washington and London are planning to establish a separate western German state, Stalin has ordered the Red Army to close all land routes into the city from the west in an attempt to force out the Allied administration. The Americans and British organize a massive airlift to feed and fuel the besieged population.As tensions heighten, a bereaved Otto Fischer flies into Berlin but disappears minutes after touching down at Tempelhof airfield. Frantically, his old friend Freddie Holleman mobilizes police resources to find him, with disastrous results. Meanwhile, their old adversary Major Zarubin of Soviet Intelligence is forced to confront a shadowy figure who seems beyond the reach of every agency of state. As their efforts converge, apparently unconnected events - executions in an eastern Berlin suburb, a host of black market transactions that cross the east-west demarcation line unchallenged and an internal struggle for control of the dreaded Fifth Directorate, precursor to the Stasi - pose a question: who wields power in a Germany whose form and nature have yet to be determined?

    Berlin, December 1944 - the heart of an empire that stands upon the precipice. France has been lost, the vast eastern territories marked out as lebensraum for future German generations submerged beneath the advancing Red tide. The pulse of the city has stilled; its famously phlegmatic citizens wait apprehensively, hoping for a miracle, expecting the deluge. In one of Berlin's suburbs, a different, more personal fear prevails. Women are dying, seemingly at the same hand, and the police are unwilling or unable to act. In a nation in which unspeakable excess has been formalized as policy, the creature may be untouchable. A silence has fallen upon Berlin-Lichterfelde, where many secrets converge. Major Otto Fischer, an invalided Luftwaffe Intelligence officer, undertakes the pursuit of the killer and his abettors. He has no resources, no time, no authority other than from a man whose involvement cannot be known. If Fischer's theory is correct, the most fortunate outcome of his investigation might be his own, swift death. As the crimes of the Third Reich turn upon their perpetrators, he and his tiny band of broken colleagues set themselves against a faceless edifice for which no act is unthinkable.

    Berlin, March 1943. Poor Ahle is dead - they called it suicide, and closed the file before the photographs of the body had dried. Any further enquiries on the matter are to be directed to Gestapo, so of course there will be no further enquiries. The men of the Lie Division mourn their dead colleague. He wasn't an easy man to know, but he didn't deserve to die like that, not after serving his time at the Front and taking wounds for his country. Still, it was his choice and he took it, even if there are any number of less messy ways to sign off. Their regrets ease quickly - after all, hundreds of Germans are dying every day in equally unpleasant ways, and it's their job to make that story seem less disastrous than it is. But the Lie Division is a man short now. Word goes out and an application is made - another smashed-up veteran, looking to do his bit but with fewer working parts than before. Otto Fischer - he's an ex-policeman like Freddie Holleman, the loudest, least-circumspect mouth in the Division. He should fit in well, if he doesn't mind sitting at a dead man's desk, turning ugly truths into pretty lies. Or being mistaken for a friend of Ahle's, whose life, death and secrets continue to inconvenience a number of very powerful people.

    Stettin, 1945/6 - a town at the end of one world and the beginning of another - a near-lawless wen of German residents and refugees, desperately clinging to a history, a sense of belonging; of Polish settlers, gangsters and sharp-dealers, all looking to seize a life here in New Poland, the 'wild west'; of Red Army personnel, busily supervising the stripping out of industrial machinery, natural resources and personal booty from what used to be eastern Germany. In this broil of hope, greed and despair, Otto Fischer - a broken-bodied Luftwaffe veteran - has found oblivion and unlikely love. But the storm of change sweeping across Stettin leaves no refuge untouched. A solitary, casual murder crushes his thin hopes of a personal future, throwing him into the path of men for whom any German life is worthless currency. At what seems to be the whim of a Russian Intelligence officer he is charged with finding the murderer, when every instinct tells him that the last thing the Red Army wants is a resolution.

    April 1955 - in a few days, the Federal Republic of Germany will sign an official Peace Treaty with the Allies and assume full sovereignty over her affairs. The nation looks to a bright future, but ghosts of a darker past linger unquietly - not least among those charged with her defence. In West Berlin, celebrations are muted by the enclave's continuing occupation and a string of murders whose investigation, rigorous at first, appears to be stalling. Rumours are rife that the body count has been understated, and theories regarding motives and perpetrators circulate widely and wildly.Untouched equally by political developments and lurid opinions on bloody crimes, Otto Fischer attends to his own modest business, burdened only by a local widow's ruthless campaign to drag him to the altar. But when a stranger offers him a great deal of money to arrange a mildly illegal matter he breaks the habit of a lifetime and fails to examine the gift-horse's mouth with sufficient care. Soon, ghosts, politics, murder and a maul of rival Intelligence agencies are collaborating with the widow to make either suicide or Buenos Aires his most attractive option.

    Do Americans live in a land of freedom and equality where people with vision, brains, and a strong work ethic can have rewarding lives? Or is ours a society where well-being, dignity, and independence are reserved for a narrow elite?Bitter Is The Wind is a coming-of-age novel that traces the lives of George Johnson Jr. and his father from the rural blue-collar landscape of upstate New York in the 1970s to the halls of Wharton Business School and the heights of Wall Street. After a family tragedy strengthens their familial bond, the Johnsons contend with assembly line monotony, unfulfilled dreams of baseball stardom, and they learn what it means to be tempted, trapped, jailed, and ignored by a seemingly uncaring God.First time novelist Jim McDermott opens a window on the American working class and its aching desire for financial security, recognition, and respect. His characters confront a modern world with limited possibilities, ambiguous mores, and authorities who seem devoted to keeping the brightest and most talented members of the underclass on the other side of town. Bitter Is The Wind deconstructs the American dream.
