Enter the brutal, revolutionary world of Jean-Patrick Manchette, 'France's king of noir fiction' (The Times)
In Paris, the Nada gang – a small cell of left-wing radicals – hatch a plan to kidnap the U.S. ambassador. They’re armed, angry, and almost successful – but totally unprepared for what follows. As the crackdown begins, the group splinters, exposing cowardice, betrayal, and the thin line between radical idealism and outright nihilism. There will be no heroes – only casualties.
Jean-Patrick Manchette skewers both the establishment and its would-be destroyers in this pitch-black political thriller. His most overtly radical work, Nada is a savage, stylish dissection of violence, ideology, and the wreckage left behind.
PRAISE FOR JEAN-PARICK MANCHETTE
‘Manchette was Le Homme... We must revere him now and rediscover him this very instant. ’ James Ellroy
'A comic genius... I read and reread him, stunned, appalled, and laughing out loud' Rachel Kushner
‘Manchette is Camus on overdrive... He deserves much the same attention’ James Sallis
‘Manchette is legend among all of the crime writers I know, and with good reason: his novels never fail to stun and thrill from page one’ Duane Swierczynski
