«Kommissariens löfte» is the crime novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published in Swedish in 1995 (157 pages).
In a small Swiss village, the detective promises the mother of a murdered girl that he will find the culprit. Convinced that the suspect is not the real perpetrator, he sets a trap for the killer with the patience of a fisherman, but the cruel twists of the plot make him pay dearly for his promise.
The novel was originally published in German in 1957 under the title «Das Versprechen: Requiem auf den Kriminalroman».
For readers of crime fiction and for those familiar with the movie adaptation The Pledge (2000).
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.
