He makes Milo much more vulnerable, more involved in this sordid case than Hammett or Chandler would have done. It is this kind of style that imprints itself on the reader's memory. . . . An exceptionally good example of the private-eye novel. Crumely writes about damaged people seen through a haze of jaded romanticism." --Newsweek"An excellent example of new variations within an old genre. Crumley's story is a strong one, and the revelations continue until the last page." --Texas Monthly"The Wrong Caseis in the tradition of the Dashiell Hammett of The Glass Key and does full honor to Hammett. The story is powerful, the writing is high calibre." --Stanley Elkin"A very good study in fatalism and self-destruction." --Hartford Courant"If you like your detective fiction tough and tenacious, you will love James Crumley. . . . No one does it better." --Houston ChroniclePrésentation de l'éditeurMilo Milodragovitch is a once-successful divorce lawyer, who now prefers to spend his days drinking and staring out the window.

6 internautes sur 6 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile.Plus qu'un polar,Par BREMOND Stevens ChristopheOn a une intrigue, forte, crédible, bien ficelée et, comme de bien entendu, un détective privé, nommé Milo. Tout commence lorsqu'une ravissante jeune femme vient louer ses services pour élucider les circonstances de la mort de son frère. Ca tombe bien, Milo est spécialisé dans les sordides affaires de divorce et ce business vient tout juste de se tarir. Mais The Wrong Case dépasse tout simplement le genre : James Crumey est un véritable conteur, un vrai talent. Il travaille son personnage en profondeur pour nous livrer un véritable looser en puissance, drogué, alcoolique, sacrément seul si ce n'est lorsque ses camarades de boisson lui tiennent compagnie. L'humour de Milo est noir. D'ailleurs, ce n'est pas de l'humour mais plutôt le cynisme pur jus du gars qui n'espère rien et n'attend rien. Certes, c'est un dur à cuire mais il subit plus la vie et ses vicissitudes qu'il ne façonne et construit quoique ce soit. Ses histoires amoureuses, c'est du néant total. Milo est l'archétype du héros sacrément attachant et à un tel point que savoir qui a tué qui et comment evient une préoccupation secondaire pour le lecteur. Ce livre est à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte. The Wrong Case est un superbe "plus que polar".
