A respected professor is dead - shot in a crowded Zurich restaurant, in front of dozens of witnesses.
The murderer calmly turned himself in to the police.
So why has he now hired a lawyer to clear his name? And why has he chosen the drink-soaked, disreputable Spat to defend him? As he investigates, Spat finds himself obsessed, drawn ever deeper into a case of baffling complexity until he reaches a deadly conclusion: justice can be restored only by a crime.
This is a captivating neo-noir classic from the master of the genre.
The Execution of Justice is a dark, wicked satire on the legal system and a disturbing, if ambivalent, allegory on guilt, justice, violence and morality.
Conclusion | Justice can be restored only by a crime |
