Yes, Arnold Odermatt's book was well reviewed and discussed in swiss medias. 
He collected the photographs he made in his profession as policeman, mostly 
of traffic accidents, some of crime locations (if ever a crime happened up 
there in Nidwalden, the middle of nowhere). The value of his pictures is 
more documentary, less artistic. Nevertheless interesting to look at.

Consider him as the Henri Rousseau of photography. Kind of na?ve art on 
black & white film.
