  1. Jacques Chessex won France’s prestigious Prix Goncourt and is considered Switzerland’s most important living author writing in French. 2. Based on a true story of political murder in Switzerland during WWII. It triggered a deluge of favourable reviews and outrage at exposing a past many wanted forgotten. Should appeal to reviewers of general fiction and those interested in the persecution of Jews during WWII. Undermining Switzerland"s self-made myths of impeccable behavior during that war is also seductive. 3. Jacques Chessex is from Payerne, the town in which the killing took place. He knew the murderers, went to school with their children, and has written a terse, implacable story that has awakened memories in a country that seems to endlessly rediscover dark areas of its past. 4. A literary gem. After the success of The Vampire of Ropraz this is another short novel of haunting detail, a tale of dark and secret atmosphere, by an author obsessed with evil.
