Skeletons in the Closet - Jean-Patrick Manchette - książka
Producent: Vintage
"His brutal best" - New York TimesA young girl is missing without a trace, sparking a case tailored for Eugène Tarpon, who finds himself once more asleep in his scruffy office. Financial desperation compels him to accept a job from a distant relative, asking him to look into the mysterious disappearance of her daughter. While the police have long since abandoned the investigation, Tarpon's sense of duty prevents him from turning the elderly woman away. Recognizing that something is amiss, Tarpon's innate curiosity drives him to delve deeper. "Skeletons in the Closet" sees the battered and heavy-drinking detective from "No Room at the Morgue" venture further into the decaying landscape of contemporary France. Jean-Patrick Manchette unveils a grim sphere where justice is ineffectual and integrity leads nowhere. PRAISE FOR JEAN-PATRICK MANCHETTE: "Writing so dark it gives a new meaning to the word noir" - Frederick Méziès. "We must revere him now and rediscover him this very instant" - James Ellroy. "A comedic genius...I read and reread him, stunned, appalled, and laughing out loud" - Rachel Kushner.
