No Room at the Morgue

Sobre el libro No Room at the Morgue de Jean-Patrick Manchette publicado por Random UK en 2026:

Ex-cop, ex-idealist, and man in free fall, Eugène Tarpon has been kicked off the force for killing a protester. Now hes holed up in a dingy Les Halles office, drinking too much and waiting for something to happen.Then it does. Memphis Charles, wild-eyed and bloodstained, bursts in claiming her roommates been brutally murdered but she cant go to the police. She wants Tarpon. And for reasons even he cant explain, he takes the case. As the bodies mount, Tarpon is dragged into a Parisian underworld of politics, sleaze, and paranoia with nothing to guide him but instinct, stubbornness, and a battered sense of justice.With No Room at the Morgue, Manchette rewrote the American hardboiled detective novel into a bleak, boozy, and brilliantly French bruising meditation on guilt, truth, and the art of going down swinging.
