Non-Fiction
Death of an Assassin: The True Story of the German Murderer Who Died Defending Robert E. Lee
With Special Guest Kornelius Bamberger, Mayor of Bonnigheim, Germany, an unlikely story about the solving of the murder of the mayor of Bonnigheim, Germany, in 1835. Witness today's Mayor of Bonnigheim, Kornelius Bamberger, present a 182-year old reward to the Gaithersburg family who are descendants of the crime-solver.

During the book event, Kornelius Bamberger (mayor of Bönnigheim, Germany) presented a ceremonial check to the descendants of the crime solver.

Ann Marie Ackermann, J.D.
Ann Marie Ackermann is a former prosecutor in the state of Washington and attorney with focuses on criminal and medical law. In a 150-year-old diary of a German forester, she discovered the case of a 19th century German assassin, who killed the mayor of Bönnigheim, Germany, in 1835, then fled to America where he had a fateful encounter with Robert E. Lee. This was the inspiration for her book, “Death of an Assassin.”
Ann Marie will be joined by special guests at the Festival to present a reward to the American descendants of a man who solved the 1835 assassination. Two of the descendants hail from Gaithersburg. She believes this is the oldest reward for solving a murder to have ever been paid.
Ann Marie now lives in the German town in which the assassination in her book occurred; her intimate knowledge of her adopted town and the German language enabled her to bring the German and American sides of this story together. She has a number of academic and popular publications in law, ornithology and history, as well as many published translations.
