Review:
'The Swiss master of the astounding plot' --Sunday Times Crime Club
'It's not that Dürrenmatt always took the road less chosen, more that he carved out an entirely different and perverse path through the literary undergrowth' --Crime Time
'The novel has the most wonderful collection of strange and charismatic characters. Ingenious... original... challenging' --Nudge Books

Friedrich Durrenmatt began to write in 1947, steadily gaining a reputation as the foremost representative of the 'new generation' of German writers. Born in 1921 in one of the German-speaking sections of Switzerland, his work has now been widely translated, and his plays performed in Japan, South America and throughout Europe. His most recent novel was The Assignment.
