«Ville noire, ville blanche» is a crime novel by Richard Price, published by Presses de la Cité in paperback (620 pages, in French).
Brenda Martin, a white woman from Gannon, arrives at the hospital in Dempsy, a predominantly black community, with bloodied hands and reports that a black man stole her car and took her four-year-old son. Inspector Lorenzo Council finds contradictions in her account, and racial tension between the two cities keeps growing.
The work was originally published in English as «Freedomland» in 1998; the translation is by Jacques Martinache and it was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
