Hanji to shikei shikkōnin

crime fiction, Novel by フリードリヒ・デュレンマット

Blurb

The mystery follows Inspector Barlach as he moves through worlds in which the distinction between crime and justice seems to have vanished. In The Judge and His Hangman, Barlach forgoes the arrest of a murderer in order to manipulate him into killing another, more elusive criminal. The thriller brings existential philosophy and the detective genre into dazzling convergence.
