A place in turmoil and a dark secret. Frederik Bosch has spent 26 years behind bars. Now he is being released and returning to the very place where he murdered seven-year-old Susanna Paulus in the late 80s. The return of the murderer causes an uproar among the residents of Schaching. They will calm down, thinks Inspector Major Schäfer. But then he hears some hints that call Bosch's guilt into question. He begins to investigate and uncovers dubious expert opinions and ignored evidence. And time and again, he encounters a respected citizen named Luis Strommer, who is clearly hiding something. A secret for which he might even go to great lengths? Gripping, surprising, and filled with biting humor. "Die and Let Die" is a literary kaleidoscope of opaque characters, rough country police officers, and reality.
