Inspector Hunkeler is summoned back to Basel from his New Year holiday to unravel a gruesome killing in an allotment garden on the city's outskirts. An old man has been shot in the head and found in his garden shed hanging from a butcher's hook.

Hunkeler must deal not only with the quarrelsome tenants of the garden but with the challenges of investigating a murder that has taken place outside his jurisdiction, across the French border in Alsace. The clues lead to the Emmental in Berne, and then events from the last weeks of the Second World War in Alsace come to light, the wounds of which have never healed in the region.

Ideal for anyone who enjoys reading about detectives like Martin Beck, Wallander or even Maigret. - CrimeFictionLover
