TRUE CRIME GERMANY - TRUE CRIME - REAL CRIME CASES

Cold blooded murders, a tragic kidnapping and a spectacular robbery - true, real-life German crime cases.

True Crime touches us because this name stands for real-life crimes from next door. Maybe even from our own immediate neighbourhood.

Not even judges, prosecutors and defence lawyers are left untouched when defendants stand trial for particularly cruel acts and the shocking fates of the victims and their families are gradually revealed. In the ideal case the final judgement ensures the just punishment of the perpetrators. But what punishment is just in the face of cruel reality?

In fifteen True Crime short stories, you will get to know some of the most spectacular German criminal cases of the last decades - from the beginning, with many details and taking into account the motives and the shocking background of these incomprehensible crimes.

Crimes such as manslaughter, murder, kidnapping, abuse, treason and theft often involve "people like you and me" whose lives turned around overnight due to tragic circumstances.

Did the brutal, ruthless murderer act out of pure greed or even bloodlust? Is the confessed offender hiding his true motive? What happened to the body? How is a person able to wipe out a human life for such a banal reason? Will the unsolved True Crime cases one day be solved, freeing the families of the victims from the uncertainty that torments them after all these years?

Truthful, objective and free of any sensationalism, each chapter of this collection sheds a light on these real criminal cases and gives you an interesting insight into the files, investigations, court hearings and the sentence. Sometimes the autopsy of forensic medicine reveals a new perspective on the cruel truth.

These shocking deeds will get under your skin as well, such as the cold-blooded murder of an entire family by its own son or the tear-moving death of a little girl that never had a chance to get to know our world. Every story in this book is an authentic account of a serious crime that gives you a deep insight into the personalities of all those involved and the motivations behind their decisions.
