If you’re looking for a pacy page-turner crime thriller, I really recommend checking out the recent translations of the writer Jean-Patrick Manchette’s ‘Gallic noir’ novels into English (by the New York Review Of Books). I just started this one, and so far it’s a great read…

… I’m not really into detective fiction (which this one is) but his other novels take in 60s/70s political radicalism and social upheaval in France, mental health and terrorism etc, with sharp wit and humour, insane eye for stylish details in clothing, art, cars etc… and yes, jazz. Lots of cigarette-smokey jazz.
