Auf dem Cover der grossartigen Trilogie über Friedrich Dürrenmatt von Madeleine Betschart und Pierre Bühler stehen die Worte «Wege und Umwege».Für mich persönlich würde ich ergänzen: «Wege, Umwege und Irrwege». Vor sechzig Jahren hätten mich solche Worte nie und nimmer interessiert. Ich kam mir sowieso immer vor, als würde ich in einen Verkehrskreisel einfahren und der hätte lauter falsche Ausfahrten.Jetzt im Alter sehe ich das etwas pragmatischer. Ich habe gelernt, dass eben auch Irrwege die richtigen Wege sein können. Aber eben, rückblickend sieht ohnehin alles anders aus. Umwege können manchmal ganz hilfreich sein. So geht es auch dem Chefkommissar Fournier in den vorliegenden Kriminalromanen. Um ans Ziel zu gelangen, die Wege zu finden, braucht man Umwege und Irrwege. Wenn wir wollen, können wir etwas daraus lernen. Ich bin schon jetzt auf den nächsten Umweg oder Irrweg gespannt.Claude Wehrli
