the pledge

     

The Plege (German: Das Versprechen) is a thriller novel by Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published in 1958. After Dürrenmatt thought that his previous movie script, Es geschah am hellichten Tag ("It happened in broad daylight") did not have a realistic ending, he set on to write "Das Versprechen".
