Description
A respected professor is found dead in a crowded Zurich restaurant, with dozens of witnesses present. The murderer calmly turns himself in to the police, sparking an investigation into a case of baffling complexity. As the lawyer Spät delves deeper into the case, he becomes increasingly obsessed, drawn into a web of crime and moral ambiguity. The Execution of Justice is a dark satire on the legal system, exploring themes of guilt, justice, violence, and morality through a disturbing yet thought-provoking narrative. This novel presents a twisted allegory on the nature of justice, raising questions about the true cost of restoring balance in a world governed by laws.
