Oskar Platen

All Oskar Platen ever wanted was a good job out of the limelight with a steady paycheck. After the twins came the bills were high and there was never enough money. In the middle of the depression many said Platen was the lucky one with a safe Interior Ministry job in Berlin. Yet the pay was a pittance and his wife deserved more. The 1,000 Reichsmark loan he secured would give them breathing space, yet it came with an unexpected codicil from his new lenders, which would put the unassuming clerk in more danger than he ever dared to imagine.
