'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.
Dark Mermaids is a shocking story of a political system that doped its youngsters to sporting superhero status, and then left them to fend for themselves.
1990. The Berlin Wall has fallen, Kathe is dead and a young girl arrives on officer Sophia Künstler's doorstep asking for help. Sophia is forced to return to her childhood home in the former German Democratic Republic, where she faces a past filled with secrets. With her job as a police officer hanging in the balance, Sophia begins to investigate a dangerous web of State Plan 14.25 . As she reluctantly delves into the sordid Stasi secrets of those she grew up with, Sophia uncovers a web of horrors about her own abusive past as a child swimming star in the GDR. But her hunt for the truth has not gone unnoticed by those close to her, people who still have too much to hide.
