Les morts ont tous le meme peau

I like this book a lot. I was very different from all the books, I've read from this author but I liked it a lot. And I really appriciate the fact that he was able to change completely his style of writing and pretend being someone else[Vernon Sullivan]. And eventhough the book is written in the style of detective stories of "hard school", the main story is really impressive and not cheap at all. I enjoy it. You can also see that he wrote it on purpose to make the critics even more angry so be prepared at some sexual parts and some slang.
