The prone gunman

Deadly professional assassin Martin Terrier returns to Paris after his latest job determined to get out of the game. Ten years ago he made a promise to return to his childhood sweetheart in the south of France. But circumstances put Martin's attempted retirement on hold: a key target is flying in to Paris, and there is only one man fit for the task of eliminating him. As Martin flees southwards, desperate to return to the crushing mediocrity of life in a backwater town, he finds his former employers will stop at nothing to regain his services for one last job. Bursting with Gallic irony and visceral brutality, The Gunman (originally published in English as The Prone Gunman) is a shocking and sardonic masterpiece from the late, great master of the French crime novel, J-P Manchette.

  • "Martin Terrier is a hired killer who wants out of the game-so he can settle down and marry his childhood sweetheart. After all, that's why he took up this profession! But the Organization won't let him go: they have other plans. Once again, the gunman must assume the prone shooting position. A tour de force, this violent tale shatters as many illusions about life and politics as bodies."
  • "Martin Terrier était pauvre, esseulé, bête et méchant, mais pour changer tout ça, il avait un plan de vie beau comme une ligne droite. Après avoir pratiqué dix ans le métier d'assassin, fait sa pelote et appris les bonnes manières, il allait rentrer au pays retrouver sa promise et faire des ronds dans l'eau... Mais pour se baigner deux fois dans le même fleuve, il faut que beaucoup de sang passe sous les ponts."
