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.

A Berlin native, studied journalism and wrote for Die Welt and Berliner Zeitung. Her first book, Wo warst du? Ein Septembertag in New York (Where were you? A Day in September in New York) was co-written with her husband, Alexander Osang, author and New York correspondent for Der Spiegel. Anja was awarded the German Reporter Award in 2012. Der Fall Scholl, The Scholl Case, was published by Ullstein Buchverlage in 2014.

Edwina Wren is an Australian actress and voice-over artist who has appeared on the television series Neighbours and in the films Canopy and Macbeth. She is a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts. Wren is the award-winning narrator of works such as Geraldine Brooks’s New York Times bestselling audiobook People of the Book and The Glass House by Anne Buist and Graeme Simsion. She has narrated nearly 100 audiobooks.

Reviews

‘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.’ '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' 'A chilling tale of marriage, adultery and murder, The Scholl Case is a true story but reads like a thriller. Highly recommended.’ Expand reviews
