«Un linceul n'a pas de poches» is the crime novel by Horace McCoy, published by Gallimard in paperback (283 pages, in French).
The story takes place in Colton, a city dominated by crime and lies. Journalist Mike Dolan leaves The Times-Gazette to create Cosmopolite, a newspaper funded with borrowed money, and decides to expose those responsible. His determination to publish the truth puts him in constant danger.
The novel originally appeared in 1937 under the title No Pockets in a Shroud. This French edition belongs to the Folio policier collection and includes a translation by Sabine Berritz and Marcel Duhamel.
It will appeal to readers of crime and hard-boiled fiction, as it combines journalistic exposure, corruption and violence.
Horace Stanley McCoy was an American writer whose mostly hardboiled stories took place during the Great Depression. His best-known novel is They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1935), which was made into a movie of the same name in 1969, fourteen years after McCoy's death.
