The French noir novel you need to help you vent your frustrations right now LitHubMurder isnt always ugly.Aime is drop-dead gorgeous, razor-sharp, and lethally efficient. A killer with a cool head and a taste for chaos, she arrives in the backwater town of Blville a festering stew of grudges, corruption, and small-town rot ready to make a killing.Its a game shes played before: stir up trouble, pit the locals against one another, then disappear with blood on her hands and money in her pocket. But this time, something breaks and the game turns on her.Jean-Patrick Manchette transformed the crime novel into a weapon of satire and stylish mayhem. Fatale is his bloodiest, funniest, and most brilliantly unhinged work: a riot of revenge, farce, and gleeful destruction.PRAISE FOR JEAN-PARICK MANCHETTEManchette was Le Homme We must revere him now and rediscover him this very instant. James EllroyA comedic genius I read and reread him, stunned, appalled, and laughing out loud Rachel KushnerManchette is one of the greatest writers since Dashiell Hammett, his only true son and heir David PeaceManchette is Camus on overdrive He deserves much the same attention James SallisManchette is legend among all of the crime writers I know, and with good reason: his novels never fail to stun and thrill from page one Duane Swierczynski
