«Le fin mot de l'histoire» is a collection of crime stories by James Hadley Chase, published by Folio in paperback (302 pages, in French).
The volume brings together stories with a grim atmosphere: unsettling hitchhikers, a motorist victim of his own vanity, a young woman assaulted, a naive boxer who ends up a killer. Chase, a pioneer of crime fiction, delves into a dark world of sordid bars, decaying hotels and anonymous roads, with precise, cynical and violent writing.
The work was originally published in 1942 under the title «Get a Load of This».
For those who enjoy crime fiction and hard-boiled stories.
Charles Holloway James,, (1893–1953), architect, specialised in designs for homes and housing projects, but also completed large public works, particularly in collaboration with Stephen Rowland Pierce.
