—Widely considered Manchette’s masterpiece. —Explodes the mystery genre--a crossover author like Sebastien Jasprisot and Jean Echenoz (who was much influenced by Manchette). —Elegantly crafted hardboiled fiction that appeals to readers of mysteries and the reader of non-genre literature. Imagine Dashiell Hammett’s Red Harvest imbued with a deep critique of contemporary capitalism. Or Raymond Chandler’s self-parody taken to a higher, more corrosive level. —Previous title: Three To Kill (City LIghts) January 2002 ISBN 0872863956
