Product Information
He is France's answer to Raymond Chandler's PHILIP MARLOWE, Leo Malet's NESTOR BURMA, detective. Richly visualised by Jacques Tardi, Malet's mystery comes to life as a black-and-white movie on paper through the illustrations of one of the world's foremost comic artists. But Burma is more than just Marlowe in a beret. Nestor lives a precarious existence in a time and a place that few have dared to touch - namely, France during and just after World War II. Nestor is the owner and sole operator of the Fiat Lux Detective Agency in Paris, in a France very much under the thumb of the Nazis and the Vichy regime. And Marlowe thought Bay City was bad! Burma appeared in almost thirty novels, including an interesting series within a series called les Nouveaux Mysteres de Paris, comprising fifteen novels, each one devoted to a Paris district.Product Identifiers
