Review

"'A unique crime writer whose fictional world was brutal, realistic and harrowing in the extreme' Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian 'Peopled by a fast-talking shower of queens, spades, morries, slags, shysters, grifters and grafters of every description, The Crust on its Uppers is one of the great London novels' New Statesman A State of Denmark is a fascinating and important novel by one of our best writers in or outside of any genre' Time Out"

Product Description

“A legendary crime novelist.”— The Sunday Times

A plainclothes cop in Paris, Kleber is forty years old and devoted to his young wife, Elenya, a former prostitute whom he rescued from her pimp. He is embittered by twenty-two years on the streets, and his sleep is haunted by dreams of death. Kleber has many enemies, and only one friend: a criminal named Mark. When Kleber is suspended from the police force for punching a fellow officer, his underworld enemies seize their chance to get even.

1.0 out of 5 stars very bad, Nov 20 2006

This review is from: Nightmare in the Street (Paperback)

I have read all of Raymonds crime fiction and I preordered this book. It consist in large part of despairing reflections on the meaning of life and on the redemptive power of love. The characters, all French, speak exactly as do the characters in Raymonds fiction set in Britain. There are "coppers" and "villains". The protagonist recites "Soloman Grundy" to himself. The moments of violence might have been copied from "Dead Man Upright." Raymond may have been right when he said that writing "Dora Suarez" had finished him. This book is very unsatisfying.
