Translated from the French by Robert Bononno.
A European phenomenon, The Enigma of Room 622 is a matryoshka doll of intrigue-as precise as a Swiss watch-and Dicker\'s most diabolically addictive thriller yet.
The attendant circumstances: the succession of Switzerland\'s largest private bank, a mysterious counterintelligence operation called P-30, and a most disreputable sabotage of hotel hospitality.
Before long, Joël and fellow guest Scarlett uncover a long-unsolved murder that transpired in the hotel\'s Room 622.
It all starts with a seemingly innocuous detail: at the Verbier, there is no Room 622 .
However, his plans quickly go awry.
Disheartened over a recent breakup and his longtime publisher\'s death, Joël hopes to rest.
A writer named Joël, Switzerland\'s most prominent novelist, flees to the Hôtel de Verbier, a luxury resort in the Swiss Alps.
