From one of Europe's bestselling writers comes a spellbinding and utterly compelling court room drama, which will stay with you for a long time. Ferdinand von Schirach's "The Collini Case" has been at the top of the German charts since publication.
A murder.
A murderer. No motive. For thirty-four years Fabrizio Collini has worked diligently for Mercedes Benz.
He is a quiet and respectable person until the day he visits one of Berlin's most luxurious hotels and kills an innocent man. Young attorney Caspar Leinen takes the case. Getting Collini a not-guilty verdict would make his name.
But too late he discovers that Collini's victim - an industrialist of some renown - is known to him. Now Leinen is caught in a professional and prsonal dilemma. Collini admits the murder but won't say why he did it, forcing Leinen to defend a man who won't put up a defence.
And worse, a close friend and relation of the victim insists that he give up the case. His reputation, his career and this friendship are all at risk. Then he makes a discovery that goes way beyond his own petty concerns and exposes a terrible and deadly truth at the heart of German justice..."The Collini Case" is a masterful court room drama that will have readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
