Mörder.

by Philippe Djian

"Ich arbeite für einen Mörder." Dieser Gedanke quält Patrick Sheahan. Ein Chemieunfall in der Camex, der Fabrik seines Freundes Marc, gefährdet die Existenz zahlreicher Anwohner. Patrick nennt Marc zwar einen Mörder, tut aber alles, um ihm zu helfen: Er verteilt nicht nur Lebensmittel an die aufgebrachten Menschen, sondern versucht auch zusammen mit Marc, die Ursachen der Katastrophe zu vertuschen.

Reviews

[Federico Tommasi Zardini · Rating 3 out of 5]

Djian scrive un libro gradevole ma con qualche difetto, nonostante siano solo duecento pagine di tanto in tanto si sente qualcosa che stride nelle reazioni e nelle psicologie dei personaggi.
Dopo aver letto 37° 2 al mattino Assassini risulta un'opera minore che vale la pena di leggere ma che non rappresenta la vetta della carriera di P.D.
