Nearly a hundred years ago, two wealthy and privileged teenagers—Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb—were charged and convicted in a gruesome crime that would lead to the original “Trial of the Century”. Even in Jazz Age Chicago, the murder was uniquely shocking for the motive of the killers: well-to-do Jewish scions, full of promise, had killed fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks for the thrill of it.

Kaum einer kannte den deutschen Papst so gut und keiner war in den letzten Jahren so nahe an seiner Seite: Georg Gänswein begleitete Benedikt XVI. nahezu drei Jahrzehnte bis zu dessen Tod. Gänswein kennt Joseph Ratzinger als Glaubenspräfekten in Rom, er war einer der wichtigsten Vertrauten in seiner Zeit als Papst und er weiß, was wirklich hinter dem spektakulären Amtsverzicht steckte. Darüber spricht Gänswein in diesem Buch offen und ehrlich. Genauso schreibt er über die Jahre nach dem Rücktritt und das Leben mit »zwei« Päpsten im Vatikan.
