«Justicia» is the crime novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Cantonal councillor Isaak Kohler kills Professor Winter in front of numerous witnesses and receives a twenty-year sentence. He then asks a young lawyer to reopen his case with a disconcerting idea: that he is not the one who fired the shot. The testimonies contradict each other, the weapon does not appear and a motive is missing: the truth of the crime falls apart.
The novel, originally published as «Justiz» in 1985, won the Mondello Prize in 1986 and is number 36 in Tusquets' Andanzas collection.
A work for readers of crime fiction and for those interested in Central European literature of the twentieth century.
Friedrich Dürrenmatt was a Swiss author and dramatist. He was a proponent of epic theatre whose plays reflected the recent experiences of World War II. The politically active author's work included avant-garde dramas, philosophical crime novels, and macabre satire. Dürrenmatt was a member of the Gruppe Olten, a group of left-wing Swiss writers who convened regularly at a restaurant in the city of Olten.
