Karina Urbach is an Anglo-German historian and novelist who lives in Cambridge. Her non-fiction includes Go-Betweens for Hitler, Queen Victoria and Alice’s Book: How the Nazis stole my grandmother’s cookbook (DAS BUCH ALICE). It has been translated into seven languages and turned into an award-winning TV documentary. Oscar winner Stefan Ruzowitzky is currently adapting it for a feature film.
Karina’s fiction work is published by Penguin Random House, Germany. The first instalment Cambridge 5 Die Zeit der Verräter won the Crime Cologne Award. The sequel Das Haus am Gordon Place (Vienna ’48) won the German Crime Award. It is based on true events: The film The Third Man is considered to be ‘just’ a cinematic masterpiece. Karina’s research shows that it was much more: MI6 used it as cover to work in the Soviet zone of Vienna. The third espionage novel is due out in August 2027.
