Description
No Room at the Morgue is a gripping private eye novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette, inspired by the works of Dashiell Hammett. Manchette's unique take on the genre is marked by its fierce, politically charged, and finely rendered prose.
The story follows Eugene Tarpon, a former cop turned private investigator, who is struggling to keep in shape and maintain a semblance of order in his life. When a beautiful woman bursts into his office, seeking help with a gruesome murder, Tarpon is drawn into a complex web of violence and deceit. As the body count rises, Tarpon's investigation becomes increasingly entangled in the dark underbelly of the city.
