A devilishly twisty standalone thriller from the author of THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HARRY QUEBERT AFFAIR
"Spectacular . . . drops the reader through one trapdoor into another" A. J. FINN
"Weds the allure of a jigsaw puzzle with the split-second timing of an Agatha Christie mystery" Wall Street Journal
It 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 Joë 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 é migré 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 Joë l Dicker's most diabolically addictive thriller yet.
