Synopsis

April 1942 - Europe is in flames, but the people of Payerne, Swtizerland, are more concerned with unemployment and local bankruptcy than the fate of nations across the border. Until, that is, a handful of local Nazis lure Arthur Bloch - a Jewish cattle merchant - into a stable and kill him with an iron bar. Based on a true story of political murder in 1940s Switzerland, Chessex' novel is a riveting read.
