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, lives in an...
Adrian Weynfeldt is an art expert in an international auction house, a bachelor in his mid-fifties living in a grand Zurich apartment filled with costly paintings and antiques. Always correct and well-mannered, he's given up on love until one night entirely out of character for him Weynfeldt decides to take home a ravishing but unaccountable young woman. The next morning, he finds her outside on his balcony threatening to jump. Weynfeldt talks her down and soon finds himself falling for this damaged but alluring beauty and his buttoned up existence comes unraveled. As their two lives become entangled, Weynfeldt gets embroiled in an art forgery scheme that threatens to destroy everything he and his prominent family have stood for.

This refined page-turner moves behind elegant bourgeois facades into darker recesses of the heart.

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
