A respected professor is dead - shot in a crowded Zurich restaurant, in front of dozens of witnesses.

The murderer calmly turned himself in to the police.

So why has he now hired a lawyer to clear his name? And why has he chosen the drink-soaked, disreputable Spät to defend him?As he investigates, Spät finds himself obsessed, drawn ever deeper into a case of baffling complexity until he reaches a deadly conclusion: justice can be restored only by a crime.

This is a captivating neo-noir classic fromthe master of the genre. The Execution of Justice is a dark, wicked satire on the legal system and a disturbing, if ambivalent, allegory on guilt, justice, violence and morality.
