The Enigma of Room 622

The Enigma of Room 622 is a meticulously crafted mystery thriller from Joël Dicker, renowned for The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair. The story unfolds at the Hotel de Verbier in the Swiss Alps, where Room 622 seemingly does not exist. Swis­sland’s most famous literary figure, Joël Dicker, travels to Verbier to escape personal heartbreak, mourn a publisher’s death, and seek inspiration for his next novel. An ordinary curiosity soon reveals an unsolved murder rooted in a love triangle and a power struggle at Switzerland’s largest private bank, entwined with a mysterious counter-intelligence unit known as P-30 and a wealthy émigré. Praised as a spectacular, intelligent thriller that guides readers through one trapdoor after another, it marks Dicker’s most diabolically addictive work to date. The book is translated from French by Robert Bononno and was released on 08/06/2023 by Mc Lehose Press, with 576 pages, in paperback, under Quercus Publishing.
