The Gallmeister editions have just launched a new collection "Neonoir" and this book from a young author Jake Hinkson is one of those who inaugurate this collection very promising, but with Gallmeister ...... "Hell Church Street" is a small masterpiece of black humor work worthy of the great masters, we think of course Jim Thompson or Donald Westlake. To be brief and do not say too much risk ..... This is the story of a small strike that Paul believes Geoffrey Webb find an easy target to rob. No problem but Webb said before biting me my money, you listen to me I have lots of stuff to say. Our potential victim thus embarks on an incredible confession. Webb is a talker who is mired in a nasty, no way to go back. Escalation of violence, absolute cynicism, improbable situations, addictive book, funny and crazy you'll struggle to get care ..... sleepless night in perspective if you start the evening!
Devouring that book, I also thought about the Cohen brothers movie, there is a bit of "Fargo" in this story, and Tarantino could also make a pleasing movie! Finally, congratulations to Sophie Aslanides a talented translator, but given that it is she who is responsible for Graig Johnson's novels by the same publisher ....
