Sonia Frey fears for her sanity. Her marriage ended in divorce after her husband tried to kill her, and an acid trip has disordered her senses-she can now ""feel"" smells and ""see"" sounds. To escape her immediate situation she has moved to a remote Alpine village, where a series of unusual events throws her into further turmoil. The mystery deepens as she discovers a parallel to these occurrences in local folkloric tales of the supernatural. Could the legend of the Devil of Milan really be true? Or is the truth more sinister? Sonia's mind, already under pressure from her strange sensory awareness, is stretched to the breaking point by the climate of paranoia developing around her. Tightly plotted and intelligently written, this engrossing mystery's gripping ending will leave readers pondering the shifting nature of truth and identity.

Review :
Psycho-thriller a la Suisse: LSD and synesthesia
Martin Suter is my favorite writer of thrillers in the German language. He is a Swiss living abroad (why is it that so many of my favorite writers are expatriates like myself? Nabokov, Sebald, Doeblin, O'Brian, and quite a few more... ). He has a sideline in his publishing career: he writes splendid little satires on business life and the subculture of the 'Schickeria', as we call the yuppies and nouveaux riches in German. His main location is Zurich, which has its fair share of bankers, art dealers, other dealers, confidence men, etc. Actually his best novel is his latest, set in the art market scene in Zurich, but that one is not out in English yet.

The story is about a Zurich divorcee, a young woman struggling to get a foothold. Her husband had...
Good travel read

an ideal travel read, as is the dark thriller `Deal with the devil' written by Martin Suter, a swiss writer which has been translated into English. My first read of a translated thriller, the story works well, with its drawing on deep and dark elements in nature to reflect the dark aspect of the legend that surrounds the village where the female lead works. A romantic novel that starts at a slow pace and has a disturbing thread running throughout the story-that the main lead can smell emotions and see sounds, a leftover disorder from a drug trip. Good page turner while travelling.

Der Teufel von Mailand: Diabolical Entertainment
Martin Suter is a Swiss author, and his works came highly recommended to me by a couple of friends from that country. Normally I'm politely reluctant to read books that have been translated from German to English, even one that came as a gift as did this one, as many of them have turned out to be dry and somewhat disappointing, but this author's A Deal with the Devil is a diabolical tale was skillfully translated by British journalist and author Peter Millar. My friends had said that I wouldn't be let down, and I wasn't.

Zurich divorcee Sonia Frey fears for both her sanity and her life. She's a young woman under pressure to get a grip since her husband tried to kill her. He had been placed in an asylum, and Sonia has taken a walk on the wild side, so to speak, with a disturbing LSD trip. The book begins with the following passage on its first page:

"The air no longer smelled grey like slate and she...
