In popular culture

In the novel the judge is called Rem Brink.[5] On 14 December 2014, the Dutch daily newspaper, De Volkskrant, revealed that the author made several changes to his book ahead of publication to accommodate the grievances of judge Röling's son and dubbed the controversy "the literary scandal of 2014".[6]
  • Röling was portrayed by Dutch actor Marcel Hensema in the 2016 NHK miniseries Tokyo Trial.
