Crime & criminology

A woman is brutally murdered and buried in the woods. Suspicion falls on her husband - the former mayor of a small town south of Berlin. They had been married almost 50 years and were considered the perfect couple.

Award-winning journalist Anja Reich-Osang covered the trial. She spoke with relatives and friends of the victim and the accused - and with the former mayor himself, who denies his guilt to this day. But there is more to this story than the question of innocence or guilt. The Scholl Case is about a marriage, about a small town, about sex and politics. It is a psychological profile of a man driven to succeed - a man who started with nothing, conquered the world, and then lost all he had gained.

Reviews for The Scholl Case: The Deadly End of a Marriage

'Reich-Osang tells this story in wonderfully simple language, full of sympathy for the people involved, but without any pathos, and with restrained but steadily growing tension as death draws inevitably closer.' -- Suddeutsche Zeitung 'The Scholl Case shines a light into the dark corners of a fascinating mystery. Anja Reich-Osang captures the twists and turns of a doomed marriage with a tension that builds to its courtroom climax. A compelling story that pulls the reader along with every page' -- Jane Harper 'A chilling tale of marriage, adultery and murder, The Scholl Case is a true story but reads like a thriller. Highly recommended.' -- Caroline Overington, author of The Lucky One and The One Who Got Away
