CSU politician Andreas Scheuer resigned from his mandate as a member of the German Bundestag. The former Federal Transport Minister now wants to devote himself to a new career as a management consultant.
A new novel by his former press spokesman once again puts the focus on Scheuer. Did the ex-transport minister serve as a template for a crime thriller protagonist? The novel with the title "Secrets, Lies, and Other Currencies" is a "ministerial crime story" and takes place in Berlin. In the book, a high-ranking official is kidnapped from the government district. This official probably has a great influence on Transport Minister Felix Rohr. The character in the novel also "wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money with his decisions." The book is about the bad press that the minister gets.
