The book offers an in-depth ethnographic analysis of German prosecutorial decision-making, highlighting how efficiency measures like charge bargaining compromise the system's renowned objectivity. Through real-life case studies and candid interviews with lawyers, it reveals the complexities and challenges faced within the legal framework, shedding light on the implications of these practices for justice and fairness.

Using interview data collected from interviews with German prosecutors themselves as well as quantitative data, the book uses the actual voices of German prosecutors to show how real-world constraints, rather than changes in the law, undermine the ability of German prosecutors to objectively seek the truth.
