Allmen and the Pink Diamond

Published by Diogenes as Allmen und der rosa Diamant
Original Title: Allmen und der rosa Diamant

Now things are getting serious: Allmen's International Enquiries has its first major case: An incredibly valuable pink diamond has disappeared, along with a mysterious Russian living in Switzerland and suspected of having stolen it. It is up to Allmen and Carlos to track him down. The trail leads them from London via the run-down outskirts of Zurich to a grand hotel in the German Baltic Sea resort of Heiligendamm, then back to the garden house in the Schwarzacker Villa in Zurich where things are about to get very awkward . . . A case in which nothing is as it seems, and one of global interest. The Allmen and Carlos duo have to prove just how much they are able to master the art of confidence trickery and understatement – and are up against the professionals.

»Suter has never been so masterful, so satisfying. Let's have more.«
Berliner Morgenpost
»Only just created, and Martin Suter's detective duo are already cult figures.«
News, Vienna
»A soufflé of smugness and sentimentality, of thrills and deadly perils. A good read!«
Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung

»These enchanting and quirky crime novels are reminiscent of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle.«

Ulf Heise / MDR, Leipzig

»Most enjoyable ... Allmen and the Pink Diamond certainly goes down easily and well -- and lingers nicely as the lightest of wafts, leaving one also looking forward to the next meeting with the quite delightful Allmen.«

 

M.A. Orthofer / The Complete Review

»Sophisticated sybarite Allmen of course gets the best of everything [...]  the Pink Diamond turns out not to be as expected, and Allmen and faithful Carlos enter the slippery realm of high finance. Immense fun for lovers of international mystery.«

Library Journal

»Suter is a consummate crime writer, his style is light and fast paced but has real depth when it comes to characterisation and understanding human nature.«
