Cauchemar Dans La Rue

Quelque Chose De Pourri Au Royaume D'angleterre

Never before available in the U.S., the final episode in the Factory Series is another unrelenting investigation with the nameless detective into the black soul of Thatcher’s England.The fifth and final book in the author’s acclaimed Factory Series was published just after Derek Raymond’s death, and so didn’t get the kind of adulatory attention the previous four titles in the series got. The book has been unavailable for so long that many of Derek Raymond’s rabid fans aren’t even aware there is a fifth book.But Dead Man Upright may be the most psychologically probing book in the series. Unlike the others, it’s not so much an investigation into the identity of a killer, but a chase to catch him before he kills again. Meanwhile, the series’ hero—the nameless Sargent from the “Unexplained Deaths” department—is facing more obstacles in the department, due to severe budget cutbacks, than he’s ever faced before.However, this time, the Sargent knows the identity of the next victim of the serial killer in question. But even the Sargent’s brutally blunt way of speaking can’t convince the besotted victim, and he’s got to convince a colleague to go against orders and join him in the attempt to catch the killer... before it’s too late.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Le Mort à Vif

Malgré les exhortations de sa mère, Lord Eylau, baron pair du royaume et dernier du nom, ne trouve guère de noblesse à sa famille et chez ceux de sa classe. Célibataire, ruiné, il aborde la quarantaine avec la conviction que son éducation ne l'a pas préparé au travail. Pour survivre, il accepte d'être gérant d'une maison de fantasmes", sise à Soho, dans "la rue obscène". Un véritable pair du royaume, cela donne du prix au vice. Surtout s'il fait participer aux "spectacles" sa maîtresse, une femme aveugle, mère de deux enfants, qu'il a ravie à un ecclésiastique de campagne.

La Rue obscène

Protéger un jeune milliardaire qui n'a ni bras ni jambes, c'est une chose ardue. Surtout quand l'Agence de Sécurité qui vous emploie utilise des méthodes un peu... directes et poursuit des buts pas très... réguliers. Surtout quand votre meilleur copain, ancien héros et barbouze active, se trouve mêlé à l'affaire. Surtout quand vous êtes veuf, parfaitement inconsolé, d'une femme aimée qui est morte à votre place, à cause du sale métier que vous faites en croyant bien mériter de la Patrie.
