Trade ReviewA stunning, dark and frighteningly authentic crime thriller. Death Zones is set in 1943, first on the eastern front and then in Hamburg. Simon Pasternak manages to convey the sheer horrors of both time and place in such a skilful manner that at times the book is hard to read yet impossible to put down
