Joel Dicker's new novel finally has a release date!

First scheduled for March but postponed because of the coronavirus epidemic, Joel Dicker's new novel finally arrives in bookstores. The opportunity to find the assured and daring pen of the author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair.   On a freezing December night, a murder takes place at the Palace of Verbier, in the Swiss Alps. A crime that remains a mystery, because the police investigation that followed could not determine the culprit. Years later, a writer took advantage of the beautiful summer of 2018 to stay at the Verbier. He is then far from imagining that he will find himself plunged into the heart of this dark affair … Here's how to summarize the beginning of the plot of the last Joel Dicker, The Riddle of Room 622. As you can quickly understand, the successful writer takes us, this time, to his hometown: Geneva. An important change of location, because Joel Dicker had accustomed us to American adventures, with protagonists in the purest tradition of the US detective novel. Whether in The Truth of the Harry Québert Affair, The Last of the Baltimores, or The Disappearance of Stephanie Mailer, the United States seemed to be the playground favored by the author. But, rest assured, this change of location is a very good thing! Against a backdrop of love triangles, betrayals and power games, Dicker tells us about an amazing Switzerland. Far from the haven of peace that we know him, Geneva will be the scene of many betrayals and crimes. If, like millions of readers, you loved Joel Dicker's previous novels, go (if conditions permit) to your favorite bookseller on May 27. In any case, do not hesitate to contact your nearest independent bookseller. The latter will be able to inform you on the most secure way to obtain this very intriguing novel. L'Énigme de la Chambre 622, a novel by Joel Dicker, published by Editions de Fallois/Paris. Published on May 27, 2020.
