Ален Демузон0.0 Au placard le spleen et la grisaille du commissariat de Fontenay-Central. Oubliés les meurtres crapuleux et autres faits divers de banlieue. Récemment démis de ses fonctions, le singulier commissaire Melchior s'en est allé soigner ses plaies chez sa cousine, en bord de mer. Un petit paradis sur terre au sein duquel il va, malgré lui, devoir reprendre du service. Motif ? L'assassinat, sept ans auparavant, de Mariette Pontel, jeune femme découverte étranglée dans un blockhaus à l'abandon. Un mystère que Melchior, en bon samaritain, se fait la promesse d'élucider. Au risque de se mettre personnellement en danger. Car le meurtrier est loin d'avoir exprimé ses dernières volontés...
Дональд Уэстлейк0.0 Wayne Prentice is a midlist author who must face the hard fact that the world no longer values his work. He has watched a pseudonym, two careers, and his sales disappear and feels like it may be time to quit writing for good. On the other hand, Bryce Proctorr fires out one bestseller after the next and has a multi-million dollar deal for his next book. Unfortunately, his divorce has given him writer's block and Bryce cannot solve his dilemma as his deadline rapidly approaches. So, Bryce proposes a partnership to Wayne: give Bryce his unpublished manuscript and the two of them can split the advance 50/50. There's just one small catch -- Wayne has to put Mrs. Proctorr six feet under.
