Very dark psychological mystery featuring Sergeant Studer. First published in 1936.
Publisher's description:
A child-murderer escapes from a Swiss insane asylum. The stakes get higher when Detective Sergeant Studer discovers the director’s body, neck broken, in the boiler room of the madhouse. The intuitive Studer is drawn into the workings of an institution that darkly mirrors the world outside. Even he cannot escape the pull of the no man’s land between reason and madness where Matto, the spirit of insanity, reigns.
Translated from German by Mike Mitchell who has translated the other Studer novels.
