Griffu

More about the book

Gérard Griffu, a somewhat awkward legal advisor and part-time detective, finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue when he assists an aspiring journalist in uncovering mysterious files that seem to vanish into thin air. These files are linked to various real estate schemes involving a mix of politicians, police, and underworld figures. Griffu's involvement proves disastrous; in the corrupt and concrete-laden France of the 1970s, violence escalates, and bodies begin to pile up. The narrative starkly portrays the unvarnished brutality of the relationships that shape the world, delivered through the brilliant collaboration of Tardi and Manchette.
