A well-to-do bachelor, who sees no more promise in love. A beautiful young woman with a mysterious past. A picture and its price. An auction, which causes an uproar in the art community - and a few who come up short in their desire for the big money.
Adrian Weynfeldt, mid-fifties, bachelor, upper middle class, art expert at an international auction house, lives in an expansive apartment in the city centre. He is done with love. Until one day a younger woman persuades him - against his customary practice - to take her home with him. The next morning, she is holding on to the balcony. . . and threatening to jump. Adrian is able to dissuade her, but from now on she makes him responsible for her life. Weynfeldt's settled life becomes untracked - until he finally realizes that nothing is the way it appears.
Praise for Martin Suter
'The Last Weynfeldt is a must-read. . . Once started, you will not stop reading until the end. You will probably forget to eat, not answer text messages and miss your stop on the bus' - Suddeutsche Zeitung
'There is charm, irony, and undeniable elegance in the novels of Martin Suter, who is probably one of the best contemporary authors' - Le Nouvel Observatuer
'Prose as calculated as a Swiss watch, impeccably drawn characters, first-class intrigues, the eye of a moralist and a clear sense of satire' - L'Express
