The Spray of the Alibi: A Case for Inspector Marc Berger

By Che Peyer

How do you catch a murderer who leaves no traces, only code? Inspector Marc Berger is an analog dinosaur in an increasingly digital world. He trusts his notebook and his Montblanc fountain pen more than Zurich's flawless, networked facades. Yet his incorruptible nature becomes his downfall: suddenly, he finds himself in the crosshairs of justice, accused of corruption. Berger quickly realizes he is merely a pawn in a much larger, cold-blooded game. Behind the conspiracy hides a brilliant, manipulative mind - "The Architect." He has unleashed a murderous algorithm that eliminates high-ranking targets through seemingly flawless high-tech accidents. An icy "symmetry of revenge" is set in motion. To prove his innocence and stop the invisible murder spree, Berger must forge a pact with the unknown. Of all people, the enigmatic cyber-specialist and millionaire heiress Elena Petrov becomes his most crucial ally. A breathless chase begins, driving the mismatched duo from the courtrooms of Zurich to the rugged, mist-shrouded gorges of the Jura mountains. A captivating Swiss Noir thriller about the architecture of deception and the merciless battle between digital supremacy and human instinct.
