A burnt-out thriller writer desperate to regain his creative spark
becomes intrigued by a decade-old unsolved murder at a glamorous
Alpine hotel in this meticulously crafted novel—a matryoshka doll
of a mystery built with the precision of a Swiss watch—from the
internationally bestselling author of The Truth About the Harry
Quebert Affair. One December night, a corpse is found in Room 622
of the Hotel Verbier, a luxury resort in the Swiss Alps. An intense
police investigation begins, yet few leads are found. Time passes,
and without any breaks in the case, public interest wanes. Years
later, Joël Dicker, Switzerland’s novelist extraordinaire,
arrives at the Verbier to recover from a bad breakup, mourn the
death of his longtime publisher, and hopefully begin a new novel.
While trying to solve the puzzle of his next book, Joël’s
expertise in the art of the thriller put to the test when he
decides to play Sherlock Holmes and look into the hotel’s
long-unsolved murder case. He finds his Watson in Scarlett, a
beautiful aspiring novelist staying in the next room, who joins
Dicker in the investigation. Meanwhile, in the wake of his father's
passing, Macaire Ebezner is poised to take over as president of the
largest private bank in Switzerland. The succession captivates the
news media, and the future looks bright—until it doesn't. The
bank’s board, including Lev Levovitch—Geneva’s very own Jay
Gatsby—has other plans, and Macaire’s triumphant rise to the
top soon becomes a race against time. The Enigma of Room 622 is a
diabolically addictive thriller in which a love triangle, a power
struggle, shocking betrayals, and deadly envy play out against the
backdrop of a not so placid Switzerland, as the truth twists and
turns into something most . . . unexpected. Translated from the
French by Robert Bononno
