Skeletons in the Closet
by Jean-Patrick Manchette
Bittersweet, as I believe I've now read all of his novels. Skeletons in the Closet is up there with the best of them. This time Eugene Tarpon is up against some kind of New Age cult, Nazis, a money laundering ring, and the conspiracy of cops keeping a lid on everything.
Jean-Patrick Manchette is one of the greatest writers of action I've ever come across, second only to Matthew Woodring Stover. His novels are short but action-packed, and yet they never devolve into something like a bad action film, there's a plausibility over all of this that keeps it going.
Also important to note that this is easily the funniest of his novels.
