Hitman Madjid Müller accepts an unusual contract: to execute a man accused of pedophilia in front of the victim, now a professor at Sciences Po Paris. When Madjid discovers that the target is a senile old man living in a nursing home in Besançon, he questions the point of this revenge. And thus begin the troubles…
Jacky Schwartzmann has long lived off odd jobs, ranging from bartender to construction site preparer, including maître d’hôtel and EDF quality advisor… He now lives off his writing—novels, comic book scripts, and feature film screenplays. His darkly humorous novels, somewhere between crime fiction and social comedy, have earned him several literary prizes including the Transfuge Prize, the Amila-Meckert Prize, and the Le Point Prize for European Crime Fiction.
A new noir novel by Jacky Schwartzmann, part of the La Manuf collection.
An author whose latest novel, Shit!, published in paperback, has sold over 50,000 copies.
A distillation of Schwartzmann’s universe: dark, biting humor in incredible situations that straddle social comedy and noir fiction.
