First U.K. edition. Originally published in 2011. Translated from the German by Anthea Bell. Signed by the author. Fine in dust jacket. For thirty-four years Fabrizio Collini has worked diligently for Mercedes Benz. He's 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 knowing that getting Collini a not-guilty verdict will make his name. Before long he discovers that Collini's victim - an industrialist of some renown - is known to him. Now Leinen is caught in a professional and personal dilemma. Collini admits the murder but won't say why he did it. Leinen's reputation and his career are all at risk. Then he makes a discovery that exposes a terrible and deadly truth at the heart of German justice.
