Richard Jobson's new novel.

The novel is based on his own experiences in Berlin:

Lang, a would-be writer falls in love with Caroline and follows her to Berlin in 1979.

They live together in the run-down district of Kreuzberg only a few streets away from the Wall.

In search of his heroes Joseph Roth and Kurt Tucholsky he navigates an island-city inhabited with a cynical mix of punk-squatters, heroin addicts, transvestites, prostitutes and dreamers.

As events overtake the young lovers, Lang realises that Berlin is now a city of ghosts where tragedy remains the only certainty.
