Often referred to as the Swiss Simenon, he died aged forty-two a few days before he was due to be married. Diagnosed a schizophrenic, addicted to morphine..." [Bitter Lemon Press] Initially Sergeant Studer is visiting friends in Paris in the Sûreté. As he is about to return to Bern, he hears a story of a clairvoyant who predicts the death of two sisters in Basel and Bern. Sure enough he no sooner arrives in Basel to find a woman succumbed to gas. When he arrives at his department in Bern, another such death occurs. Although the police might be content with a suicide verdict, Studer has other ideas and his search for a murderer leads him to the Foreign Legion in Morocco into stories of German Spies and oil riches. A good tale with some humor. It was somewhat difficult keeping track of several character by the name of Koller and a priest who was not. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Praise for Friedrich Glauser's other Sergeant Studer novels: "Thumbprint is a fine example of the craft of detective writing in a period which fans will regard as the golden age of crime fiction."--The Sunday Telegraph "In Matto's Realm is both a compelling mystery and an illuminating, finely wrought mainstream novel."--Publishers Weekly "A despairing plot about the reality of madness and life, leavened with strong doses of bittersweet irony. The idiosyncratic investigation ofIn Matto's Realm and its laconic detective have not aged one iota."--Guardian "With good reason, the German-language prize for detective fiction is named after Glauser. . . . He has Simenon's ability to turn a stereotype into a person, and the moral complexity to appeal to justice over the head of police procedure."--The Times Literary Supplement When two women are "accidentally" killed by gas leaks, Sergeant Studer investigates the thinly disguised double murder in Bern and Basel. The trail leads to a geologist dead from a tropical fever in a Moroccan Foreign Legion post and a murky oil deal involving rapacious politicians and their henchmen. With the help of a hashish-induced dream and the common sense of his stay-at-home wife, Studer solves the multiple riddles on offer. But assigning guilt remains an elusive affair. The third in the Sergeant Studer series. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
