Pyromanie

by Bruce DeSilva, Manuel Tricoteaux (Translator)

Liam Mulligan est un journaliste de la vieille école. À Providence, Rhode Island, il connaît tout le monde : les prêtres et les prostituées, les flics et les voyous, les politiques et les mafieux (souvent les mêmes). Quand les immeubles du quartier où il a grandi se mettent à brûler les uns après les autres, connaissant le flair de la police, Mulligan décide de mettre les mains dans le cambouis.

About the author

Bruce DeSilva grew up in a tiny Massachusetts mill town where the mill closed when he was ten. He had an austere childhood bereft of iPods, X-Boxes, and all the other cool stuff that hadn’t been invented yet. In this parochial little town, metaphors and alliteration were also in short supply. Nevertheless, his crime fiction has won the Edgar and Macavity Awards; has been listed as a finalist for the Shamus, Anthony, and Barry Awards; and has been published in ten foreign languages. His short stories have appeared in Akashic Press's award-winning noir anthologies. He has reviewed books for The New York Times Sunday Book Review and Publishers Weekly, and his reviews for The Associated Press have appeared in hundreds of other publications. Previously, he was a journalist for forty years, most recently as writing coach world-wide for AP, editing stories that won nearly every major journalism prize including the Pulitzer. He and his wife, the poet Patricia Smith, live in New Jersey with two enormous dogs named Brady and Rondo.
