Three to Kill

'France's king of noir fiction...he writes with a bleak, tragic beauty'

The Times

'Manchette's books are all action, unfolding with a laconic efficiency that would make his killers proud'

The Economist

'I'd rather read Manchette than many contemporary noir writers'

Sarah Weinman

'Warn your children and the weak of heart. There is meat here. There is gristle. There is bone.'

James Sallis

'The book that kept me up way too late...vicious and hilarious'

Rachel Kushner

'Manchette has appropriated and subverted the classic thriller [with] undiluted action, violence and suspense'

Times Literary Supplement

'The pace is fast, the action sequences are superb, and the effect is just as striking as it must have been when the book was first published in 1976'
