Praise
“The Swiss master of the astounding plot” — Sunday Times Crime Club
“It’s not that Dürrenmatt always took the road less chosen, more that he carved out an entirely different and perverse path through the literary undergrowth” — Crime Time
“A dark, wicked satire on the legal system and a disturbing, if ambivalent, allegory on guilt, justice, violence and morality” — Publishers Weekly
“Audacious… Durrenmatt’s compelling handling of his favorite themes… makes Spat’s funny, sad nightmare less like The Murder of Roger Ackroyd than like The Fall or The Crying of Lot 49″ — Kirkus Reviews
“Durrenmatt has the gift to create unforgettable characters within a few lines” — Los Angeles Times
