Thumbprint

The death of a salesman in Gerzenstein forest appears to be an open and
shut case. Sgt. Studer has a suspect, a clear motive and a confession.But
nothing is what it seems. The glassy facade of Switzerland's tidy
villages and manicured forests is soon splintered. A classic European
crime novel, the first in a five-part series, from the Swiss Simenon, a
man who spent most of his life in psychiatric wards, insane asylums and
prison."From bitter experience Glauser has painted a portrait of
Switzerland you will never see in a travel brochure" - FAZ
