The Mad and the Bad - Jean-patrick Manchette

Descriere The Mad and the Bad - Jean-patrick Manchette

\nAn NYRB Classics Original \nWinner of the French-American Foundation Translation Prize for Fiction \n \nMichel Hartog, a sometime architect, is a powerful businessman and famous philanthropist whose immense fortune has just grown that much greater following the death of his brother in an accident. Peter is his orphaned nephew--a spoiled brat. Julie is in an insane asylum. Thompson is a hired gunman with a serious ulcer. Michel hires Julie to look after Peter. And he hires Thompson to kill them. Julie and Peter escape. Thompson pursues. Bullets fly. Bodies accumulate. \n \nThe craziness is just getting started. \n \nLike Jean-Patrick Manchette's celebrated Fatale, The Mad and the Bad is a clear-eyed, cold-blooded, pitch-perfect work of creative destruction.\n
