The complete collection

Alarm fifty resounds and the worker responsible for the maintenance and the winding of the antique clocks of the old man, who thinks this is the perfect time to change into the electronic era, is fired without consideration. And there you stand: a bell-ringer without a bell to ring. And there is more: what can you do with this sudden free time?
For these reasons, our friend takes up the profession of private eye. He has to start with next to nothing: no licence, no iron, no experience. But he has his books. His garret in Paris is his nest where he finds little love - only a few shelves filled with detectives from where the heroes shout their defiance to him.
Choucas is not yet a Philip Marlowe, which is clear. But although he does not wear a Luger .38, he can use his fists, his head and his biting sarcasm just as well as Chandler's hero.
