Moon in a Dead Eye: Shocking, hilarious and poignant noir

Pascal Garnier was born in Paris in 1949. The prize-winning author of over sixty books, he remains a leading figure in contemporary French literature, in the tradition of Georges Simenon. He died in 2010.

' A perfectly balanced cross between a thriller and a social document.' L'Express 'Combines a sense of the surreal with a ruthless wit.' The Observer 'The combination of sudden violence, surreal touches and bone-dry humour have led to Garnier's work being compared with the films of Tarantino and the Coen brothers.' Sunday Times
