Swiss Vendetta, Tracee de Hahn's mesmerizing debut, is an emotionally complex, brilliantly plotted mystery set against the beautiful but harsh backdrop of a Swiss winter.
Agnes finds it difficult to draw answers out of anyoneβthe tight-lipped Swiss family living in the chΓ’teau, the servants who have been loyal to the family for generations, the aging WWII survivor who lives in the neighboring mansion, even the American history student studying at the Vallotton chΓ’teau's library. As the storm rages on, roads become impassible, the power goes out around Lausanne, and Agnes finds herself trapped in the candlelit halls of the chΓ’teau with all the players of the mystery, out of her depth in her first murder case and still struggling to stay afloat after the death of her husband.
