When a member of the Bern police force is shot dead on a Swiss country road, the enigmatic Inspector Barlach and his colleague Tschanz are intent on tracking down the killer. But the ailing Inspector doesn't have time to lose. Soon the pair discover that the victim was murdered on his way to a clandestine party at the home of a wealthy power broker - so why was a local policeman socialising with some of Switzerland's most influential men? Who was his shadowy host? And why has Barlach's past returned to haunt him in his final hours? The Judge and His Hangman is a thrilling tale of lifelong rivalry, and of two men chained together by a wager that would destroy them both.

Friedrich Dürrenmatt
Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921-1990) foi um autor e dramaturgo suíço. Era um proponente do teatro épico cujas peças refletiram as recentes experiências da Segunda Guerra Mundial. O politicamente ativo autor ganhou a maior parte de sua fama devido a seus dramas vanguardistas, profundos romances policiais, e algumas sátiras macabras. Um de seus principais bordões era: "Uma história não está terminada até que algo tenha dado extremamente errado".
