"Spectacular . . . drops the reader through one trapdoor into another" A.J. FINNIt all starts with an innocuous curiosity: at the Hotel de Verbier, a luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps, there is no Room 622. This anomaly piques the interest of JoA�l Dicker, Switzerland's most famous literary star, who flees to the Verbier to recover from a bad breakup, mourn the death of his publisher, and begin his next novel. Before he knows it, he's coaxed out of his slump by a fellow guest, who quickly uncovers the reason behind Room 622's erasure: an unsolved murder. The attendant circumstances: a love triangle and a power struggle at the heart of Switzerland's largest private bank, a mysterious counter-intelligence unit known only as P-30, and a shadowy AcmigrAc with more money than God. A Russian doll of a mystery crafted with the precision of a Swiss watch, The Enigma of Room 622 is JoA�l Dicker's most diabolically addictive thriller yet. Praise for JoA�l Dicker "It's that most engaging of treats, a big, fat, intelligent thriller" SIMON MAYO"Dicker has the first-rate crime novelist's ability to lead his readers up the garden path" Sunday ExpressTranslated from the French by Robert Bononno
