Fairy Gunmother by Daniel Pennac

Fairy Gunmother by Daniel Pennac

A policeman on a mission of mercy is shot dead at point-blank range by a sweet old granny on a frosty morning. Maniacally inventive - some have called it deranged - Pennac's creations in The Fairy Gunmother have achieved cult status all over Europe.
