Praise for Friedrich Glauserâs other Sergeant Studer novels:
âThumbprint is a fine example of the craft of detective writing in a period which fans will regard as the golden age of crime fiction.ââThe Sunday Telegraph
âIn Mattoâs Realm is both a compelling mystery and an illuminating, finely wrought mainstream novel.ââPublishers Weekly
âA despairing plot about the reality of madness and life, leavened with strong doses of bittersweet irony. The idiosyncratic investigation of In Mattoâs Realm and its laconic detective have not aged one iota.ââGuardian
âWith good reason, the German-language prize for detective fiction is named after Glauser. . . . He has Simenonâs ability to turn a stereotype into a person, and the moral complexity to appeal to justice over the head of police procedure.ââThe Times Literary Supplement
When two women are âaccidentallyâ 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.
About: Two Swiss women have been killed by gas leaks, murders thinly disguised as accidents.
