George Gerfaut, aimless young executive and desultory family man, witnesses a murder and finds himself sucked into a spiral of violence involving an exiled war criminal and two hired assassins. Adapting to the exigencies of his new life on the run with shocking ease, Gerfaut abandons his comfortable middleclass life for several months, until, joined with a new ally, he finally returns to settle all accounts... with brutal, bloody interest. Released in 2005, West Coast Blues (Le Petit bleu de la cte ouest) is Tardi's adaptation of a popular 1976 novel by the French crime writer JeanPatrick Manchette. (The novel had been previously adapted to film under the more literal title Trois hommes abattre, and was released in English by the San Franciscobased publisher City Lights under the English version of the same title, 3 to Kill.) Tardi's lateperiod, looser style infuses Manchette's dark story with a seething, malevolent energy; he doesn't shy away from the frequently grisly goingson, while maintaining (particularly in the oldmarriedcouplestyle bickering of the two killers who are tracking Gerfaut) the mordant wit that characterizes his best work. This is the kind of graphicnovel that Quentin Tarantino would love, and a double shot of Scotch for any fan of unrelenting, uncompromising crime fiction
