"I spent 27 years as a criminal judge, then 27 years as an examining magistrate and public prosecutor. Now it's 27 years as a crime writer full time," announced Nicolas Feuz in a publication on the LinkedIn platform. He also shared an article from "Arcinfo"; the Neuchâtel daily newspaper had previously reported.
Feuz attracted attention in German-speaking Switzerland last spring together with his fellow author Marc Voltenauer. Under the title "Tödliches Ultimatum" (Deadly Ultimatum), the two wrote their first crime thriller together. The fast-paced story of a Switzerland on the brink of disaster was published almost simultaneously in the French-language original and the German translation. The two have long been bestselling authors in French-speaking Switzerland.
