For a Lifetime
Published by Diogenes as Ein Leben lang
Original Title: Ein Leben lang

A group of childhood friends are just beginning to go their separate ways when one of them is suddenly arrested for murder, charged with killing his uncle out of greed. The seemingly endless trial, based on circumstantial evidence, turns everything on its head. The accused man’s friends take his side: surely he cannot – he must not – be a murderer. But fifteen years after the verdict, when a journalist reopens the investigation, loyalties are brought into question once more.
