Jean-Patrick Manchette (1942-1995) was a crime novelist, screenwriter, critic, and translator. In 1971 he published his first novel and went on to establish a new genre of French novel, the neo-polar. Vintage Classics publishes his Fatale, Nada, No Room at the Morgue and Skeletons in the Closet.
[Nada] remains incredibly exciting to read. Manchette wastes none of his readers’ time, one short chapter after another driving the book relentlessly to its end * Observer * This pair of explosive, absurd French crime thrillers [Nada and Fatale] – with plenty of oh là là and even more zut alors – will cheer you up and help you forget the desperate weather… these [are] funny, nasty, perpetually surprising books * The Times *
