Mystery Police Procedural | Mystery
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. Inspector Agnes Lüthi, a Swiss-American police officer in
Lausanne, Switzerland, has just transferred to the Violent
Crimes unit from Financial Crimes to try to shed all
reminders of her old life following her husband's death.
Now, on the eve of the worst blizzard Lausanne has seen in
centuries, Agnes has been called to investigate her very
first homicide case. On the lawn of the grand Château
Vallotton, at the edge of Lac Léman, a young woman has been
found stabbed to death. The woman, an appraiser for a London
auction house, had been taking inventory at the château, a
medieval fortress dripping in priceless works of art and
historical treasures. Agnes finds it difficult to draw answers out of anyone—the
tight-lipped Swiss family living in the château, 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 château'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
château 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.
