Judenstaat is a mystery set in an alternate history Europe that supposes that a Jewish state was carved out of Germany in the Soviet controlled part of Germany after World War II. Judit Klemmer is an archivist and the widow of the first Saxon conductor of the Judenstaat's premier conductor who had been assassinated on Liberation Day years ago. Now Judit was working on a documentary about the founding of Judenstaat, but someone would rather she plunge into opening her husband's murder. Plus there is the distraction of the Soviet police agent assigned to her. After much meandering, Judit finally gets some answers (as much as is likely in a Soviet state) and finishes off the documentary. It was an interesting concept, but the execution did not match expectations.
