À propos de cet ebook
Long live the revolution. To hell with its children.
In Paris, the Nada gang – a small cell of left-wing radicals – hatch a plan: kidnap the U.S. ambassador. They’re armed, angry, and almost successful – but totally unprepared for what follows.
The state moves fast and without mercy. As the crackdown begins, the group splinters under pressure – 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. Nada is his most overtly radical work: 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
