Martin Terrier is a hired killer who wants out of the game--so
he can settle down and marry his childhood sweetheart. After all,
that's why he took up this profession But the Organization won't
let him go: they have other plans. Once again, the gunman must
assume the prone shooting position. A tour de force, this violent
tale shatters as many illusions about life and politics as
bodies.
Jean-Patrick Manchette (1942-1995) rescued the French crime
novel from the grip of stodgy police procedurals, restoring the
noir edge by virtue of his post-1968 leftism. Manchette is a totem
to a generation of French mystery writers, and his stories have
inspired several films, including Claude Chabrol's "Nada."
