Review title: A dark tale
Product review: Set in Switzerland in the 50's, The Pledge is a timeless book that shows a policeman's obsession with fulfilling his "pledge" to find the murderer of a child. This man gives up everything in this obsession, against the consensus who have fingered somebody else. The characters and the setting have a chilly darkness to them. The sky always seems overcast, and little light shines through the characters too. It's a short book, and difficult to put down. It isn't the happiest of books, the characters aren't fully developed, yet the cynical nature of life is fleshed out completely. It is timeless in that regard, one man standing on his own against a disbelieving group of his peers.
