How could the monstrous crime against the righteous shopkeeper Alfred Ill come about in tranquil Güllen? A journalist researches and brings to light the entanglements and dark secrets of the citizens. Güllen, a wealthy little community, was not so long ago an impoverished town until Claire Zachanassian visited her hometown and demanded justice for her wrong. With a lot of humor, Dürrenmatt paints a pointed picture of group dynamic processes and social networks in a small town.
