Antoine's life is good. During the day, he hangs pictures for the
most fashionable art galleries in Paris. Evenings, he dedicates to
the silky moves and subtle tactics of billiards, his true passion.
But when Antoine is attacked by an art thief in a gallery his world
begins to fall apart. His maverick investigation triggers two
murders - he finds himself the prime suspect for one of them - as
he uncovers a cesspool of art fraud. A game of billiards decides
the outcome of this violently funny tale, laced with brilliant
riffs about the world of modern art and the parasites that infest
it. "You know, you can see parallels in the histories of crime and
painting. At first, men painted as they kill, with bare hands. Raw
art, you could say...Instinct before technique. Then came
instruments, the stick, the brush. One fine day, painting with
knives began. Look at the work of Jack the Ripper...And then the
gun was invented. Painting with a gun brought something final and
radical. And today, in the age of terrorism, they paint with bombs,
in cities, in the metros. Anonymous graffiti that explode on street
corners..."
