    About this audiobook

    One of the Sunday Times 100 Best Crime Novels and Thrillers Since 1945

    When a young girl is found brutally murdered in a Swiss mountain forest, the brilliant Inspector Matthai can't put the case behind him. Not even when a local felon is arrested. Not even once the suspect has confessed.

    Matthai promises the girl's mother that he will stop at nothing to find the real killer.

    Adapted into a Hollywood film, The Pledge is the chilling story of a man in desperate search of the truth. A man driven to sacrifice everything, to commit acts of cruelty and obsession in a desperate search for a killer he can't find.
