Close Enough

Frankfurt likes simple answers.When a crime happens, a story is built. It sounds reasonable. It fits what people already believe. The file is closed, and the city moves on.Leopold Schreiber does not.Retired and without a badge, Schreiber no longer has the pressure to finish things neatly. He only has time, and a sharp sense for when an explanation comes too easily.Close Enough collects three cases from Schreiber's later years. A violent death. A medical tragedy. A truth too damaging to prove. On paper, the procedures were followed and the reports are clean. Everyone did their job.That is exactly what makes them dangerous.From the pharmacies of Nordend to the backrooms of Sachsenhausen, Schreiber looks at what was ignored rather than what was hidden. These are stories about how institutions protect themselves, and how a truth can exist without ever becoming official.Some cases are solved. Some are closed. And some are just close enough.
