In Matto's Realm: A Sergeant Studer Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
Seeing a light switch on the outside doorpost, he flicked it; the light went on inside.He went in.The would-be assassin's sparse hair was sticking out in all directions and his pink scalp shone through. There were heavy bags under his eyes that hung down almost to the corners of his mouth. They seemed to be filled with poison."Herr Schmocker," said Studer in a friendly voice, sitting down on the side of the bed, "could you tell me-"That was as far as he got. In shrill tones the man screeched, "Get off my bed!"Obediently Studer stood up. You shouldn't provoke a madman, he thought. Then he waited until the little man had calmed down. "I'd just like to know if it was you who found the nightwatchman's passkey, Herr Schmocker.""One of those sneaky damn cops, that's what you are. See that you get out of my room, you've no business here. D'you hear?" As he delivered this tirade in his thick Swiss dialect he got up menacingly and stood there, supporting himself with the backs of his knees against the edge of the bed."Come now, Herr Schmocker," said Studer, still in friendly tones.
