compass84 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Dear all, I'm on the hunt for a book I read as a teenager, loved and have not seen again for a decade. It has been playing on my mind, but I cannot remember author, title, or anything useful! Here's what I can remember: It is a thriller/murder mystery, set mainly in Bern, Switzerland The opening sequence was set in a boarding school, where a young man hanged himself The lead character's Swiss police friend was nicknamed 'The Bear' The version I had had a red and black cover of two pages, the front part cut away and when moved showed a picture of someone hanging One of the gruesome murders involved a torso being found on a large chess board (sorry to be so graphic) There is mention of the Swiss men who had done compulsory service all had guns and ammo stored in their kitchen I know this is a random collection of info, but I would be so grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction! Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
