«Der Richter und sein Henker» is the crime novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (116 pages, in German).
The investigation into the murder of a police officer in rural Switzerland sets in motion Inspector Bärlach's final case, a man who is ill and close to retirement. His suspect is Gastmann, an old intellectual rival, and the plot becomes a battle of wits in which justice, revenge and guilt intertwine. A classic of the genre, with a denouement that overturns appearances.
First installment of the Inspector Bärlach series, written by Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt.
As it is in German, it is ideal for students of the language and for those who want to read a classic of crime fiction in its original tongue.
Friedrich Dürrenmatt was a Swiss author and dramatist. He was a proponent of epic theatre whose plays reflected the recent experiences of World War II. The politically active author's work included avant-garde dramas, philosophical crime novels, and macabre satire. Dürrenmatt was a member of the Gruppe Olten, a group of left-wing Swiss writers who convened regularly at a restaurant in the city of Olten.
