L'enigma de l'habitació 622

One December night, a corpse lies on the floor of room 622 of the Palace de Verbier, a luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps. The police investigation will never be completed and the passage of time will make many forget what happened. Years later, writer Joël Dicker arrives at the same hotel to recover from a romantic breakup. He does not imagine that he will end up investigating the old crime, and he will not do it alone: Scarlett, the beautiful guest and aspiring novelist of the adjoining room, will accompany him in the search while also trying to learn the keys to writing a good book. What happened that night at the Verbier Palace? This is the big question of this diabolical thriller, built with the precision of a Swiss watch. Joël Dicker finally takes us to his native country to tell us about a police investigation that mixes a love triangle, power games, betrayals and envy in a not so quiet Switzerland, where the truth is very different from everything we have imagined.
