Come Kill with Me

One of the best French classical crime novel. A love and crime circle where Fred Kassak's black humor works wonders. Pierre loves Marie-José, who loves Gérard, who... loves Marie-José. Unfortunately, Gérard is bogged down by a terrible Gorgon wife... They say true love consists in forgetting oneself and thinking only of the happiness of the other. And not just thinking about it... For Marie-José, to be happy, let's rid Gérard of his Gorgon! Easy to say. The road to Hell, as everyone knows, is paved with good intentions... Fred Kassak, pseudonym of Pierre Humblot, was born in 1928. He became very famous at the end of the 1950s with a series of novels with inimitable dark humor. Screenwriter of the first episode of "Les cinq dernières minutes" (extremely popular French crime TV series) in 1958, he then devoted himself mainly to cinema and television. Many of his novels were adapted by Michel Audiard: "Elle boit pas, elle fume pas, elle drague pas, mais... elle cause!", "Comment réussir dans la vie quand on est con et pleurnichard ?", etc. The complexity of his plots, his humorous tone, and his criminological "finds" make him one of the greatest French authors. of detective novels ("Plus amer que la mort", "On n'enterre pas le dimanche", "Une chaumière et un meurtre", "Carambolages").
