SeriesA Sergeant Studer Mystery Ser.
Summary Annotation <div><p><br />Praise for Friedrich Glauser&rsquo;s other Sergeant Studer novels:<br />&ldquo;<i>Thumbprint</i>is a fine example of the craft of detective writing in a period which fans will regard as the golden age of crime fiction.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>The Sunday Telegraph</i></p><p><br />&ldquo;<i>In Matto&rsquo;s Realm</i>is both a compelling mystery and an illuminating, finely wrought mainstream novel.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><p><br />&ldquo;A despairing plot about the reality of madness and life, leavened with strong doses of bittersweet irony. The idiosyncratic investigation of<i>In Matto&rsquo;s Realm</i>and its laconic detective have not aged one iota.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>Guardian</i></p><p><br />&ldquo;With good reason, the German-language prize for detective fiction is named after Glauser. . . . He has Simenon&rsquo;s ability to turn a stereotype into a person, and the moral complexity to appeal to justice over the head of police procedure.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>The Times Literary Supplement</i></p><p><br />When two women are &ldquo;accidentally&rdquo; 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.</p><p><br />The third in the Sergeant Studer series.</p></div>
