A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"A high-octane page-turner." --The Guardian

"A brilliantly tuned, mesmerizing labyrinth of a quasi-real world as only a master artist could draw it... stunningly original." --James Ellroy

"Seldom have plot and atmosphere been such awkward bedfellows and provided such a memorable sense of dread." --Love Reading"The most electrifying debut crime novel you are likely to read all year" --GQ

"A surrealistic noir epic that's part David Lynch and part Bret Easton Ellis" --Booklist

"Jack O'Connell has riffed on language, fire-cleansed genre conventions, and stripped the artifice from the modern noir novel, creating a body of work both exciting and entirely original." --George Pelecanos
