No Room at the Morgue (New York Review Books Classics)

No Room at the Morgue is a gripping, politically inflected private eye novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette, inspired by the works of Dashiell Hammett.

In this dark and violent tale, Eugene Tarpon, a sometime cop turned private investigator, takes on a new case involving a beautiful woman whose roommate's throat has been cut.

As the bodies pile up, Tarpon finds himself in the midst of a dangerous game of cat and mouse, with no room at the morgue for the innocent or guilty alike.

With its haunting prose and politically charged themes, No Room at the Morgue is a must-read for fans of crime fiction and those looking for a gripping, thought-provoking read.
