Manchette's Fatale

A new adaption of a cult classic by one of the most celebrated French crime writers. Will appeal to fans of film noir and crime fiction. Nominated for the 2015 Selection Polar at the Angouleme Festival. In this stunning work, Manchette explores the nature of society, corruption, violence and nihilism through the prism of a beautiful woman at odds with the world around her.

Aimee is a beautiful young widow - she's also a killer. Driven by a deep-rooted desire for revenge, she sets about uncovering the secrets of the inhabitants of the sleepy rural town of Bleville, before ruthlessly murdering them. Faced with corruption of a kind she had scarcely imagined, she discovers a moral core under her murderous instincts.Aimee is a beautiful young widow - she's also a killer.
