Reader's note

A vintage decoratively patterned copy of The Pledge by Fredrich Durrenmatt. Set in a small town in Switzerland, The Pledge centres around the murder of a young girl and the detective who promises the victim’s mother he will find the perpetrator. After deciding the wrong man has been arrested for the crime, the detective lays a trap for the real killer—with all the patience of a master fisherman. But cruel turns of plot conspire to make him pay dearly for his pledge. Here Friedrich Dürrenmatt conveys his brilliant ear for dialogue and a devastating sense of timing and suspense. Joel Agee’s skilled translation effectively captures the various voices in the original, as well as its chilling conclusion. Just one of the many antique, rare and obscure books available on our online vintage bookstore.
