C'est pas du polar... mais ça craint quand même ! #[nn]

Bruno Heitz's playful cartooning sets the tone perfectly on this 2018 Gallimard release — the cover shows a tense standoff where a young man points a small pistol at a sharply dressed fellow in sunglasses, while a cool blonde looks on from the background, all rendered in Heitz's warmly comic ligne claire style. The title itself, C'est pas du polar… mais ça craint quand même! ("It's not a thriller… but it's still pretty scary!"), promises a story that winks at the crime genre without taking itself too seriously. A fun, accessible pick for readers who enjoy their suspense with a healthy dose of humor.
