The Pledge by Friedrich Durrenmatt, translated by Joel Agee

A young girl is found murdered, and a police detective pledges to her parents that he will find the killer. This pledge becomes a lifetime obsession for him.

A short, quick, and smart read that kept me riveted. It's clever, and at the end, it had me saying a very satisfying "Oh...!"
