Monsieur Malaussene by Daniel Pennac
Parisian scapegoat Benjamin Malaussene, along with his family of half sisters and brothers, are once again the target for a series of increasingly catastrophic mishaps that culminate in Malaussene's imprisonment on 21 counts of murder. Meanwhile, the real serial killer remains at large. In this sprawling thriller, which brings the Belleville Quintet to a close, Pennac has allowed his unique imagination to run riot. From the art of the tattoo to cinema history, from the intricacies of cutting-edge surgery to the wonders of the wines of Jura, this extraordinary crime caper has something for everyone. Daniel Pennac's Belleville Quintet, a cult success in France, also includes The Scapegoat, The Fairy Gunmother, Passion Fruit, and Write to Kill.Daniel Pennac is a well-known French author, well known for the Malaussène family epic, which is a veritable tribute to the Belleville neighborhood. His fanciful characters and lively, fluid style have made him a fan favorite among readers. Tonino Benacquista is a specialist in noir novels who has since expanded into other mediums such as theatre, comics, and film, winning the French Academy Award for best writing for the film Sur mes lèvres. Achdé started creating comics at the age of three and hasn't stopped since. He was the creator of such series as CRS=détresse and Woker (with Widenlocher), and when he was asked to take over as illustrator for Lucky Luke, he realized a lifelong desire.
