Unnatural Order

It's 1988 and Germany is a country still at war with its own recent history.

Australian expat journalist Caroline James, sexually entranced by her German lover, goes to live with him near Stuttgart.

But Caroline soon misses the job and London life she gave up to be with Karl, and discovers the darker side of romance with an obsessive man.

It also doesn't take long to realise they have little in common beyond mutual sexual passion.

So why doesn't she leave?

Is there more to her decision to stay, than the lead on a potential news story?

A local woman accused of killing her own child seems to be the victim of simmering prejudices until Caroline's research unearths dark secrets from Germany's recent history.

Caroline's professional curiosity turns personal as every investigative step she takes drags her deeper into the horrors of the past.
