When Zurich multimillionaire & local politician Isaak Kohler shoots a professor to death in broad daylight for no apparent reason, he cheerfully accepts his 20-year prison sentence. Yet, despite the fact that there were witnesses aplenty, he enlists Spat, a down-&-out lawyer, to investigate the crime, ordering him to pretend that someone else, now at large, committed it. Through luck & happenstance, the greenhorn attorney pulls off the impossible: an acquittal. In the process, Spat falls in love with Kohler`s daughter Helene, whom he suspects is an accomplice. He also meets a femme fatale whose auto racer boyfriend beats her, a dwarfish heiress surrounded by muscled bald bodyguards & sundry small-time crooks. Did Kohler shoot the professor as an abstract, fiendish mental game, or was Swiss pistol expert Benno the real culprit, as the newspapers rashly proclaim? The Execution of Justice is a dark, wicked satire on the legal system & a disturbing, if ambivalent, allegory on guilt, justice, violence & morality. ...

- by bullet, poison or bludgeon
- & he fears he has very little time to identify the culprits before he becomes yet another victim in the battle for the Cathedral`s future.
