Reich-Osang, Anja,

The Scholl case : the deadly end of a marriage / Anja Reich-Osang ; translated from the German by Imogen Taylor. - Melbourne, Victoria : Text Publishing Company, 2016. - 213 pages ; 24 cm.

First published in Germany as 'Der fall Scholl' by Ullstein extra Verlag, 2014.

On a cold December morning in 2011, a woman's body is found in a forest near Berlin, hidden between tall trees under dry leaves and moss. She has been strangled in cold blood. The victim's husband, Heinrich Scholl, is devastated. He is well respected in the community, a former mayor, and had been happily married:or so it seemed:for almost fifty years. Three weeks later he is arrested, and after an eighteen-month trial is sentenced to life. To this day he pleads not guilty. Can this charming, courteous man possibly be a killer? Journalist Anja Reich-Osang followed the case from its beginning and talked to family, friends and Heinrich Scholl himself. She tells an utterly gripping story of marriage, sex and politics, in which nothing is as it seems.
