About the Book

Benjamin Malauss ne s young sister Ther se marries Count Marie-Colbert de Roberval and the happy couple fly off to Zurich for their wedding night. Two days later, a tight-lipped Ther se is back in Belleville. Her husband is also in Paris, found dead at the foot of his stairwell, and a bag full of dollars has gone walkabout. Added to which, Ther se s fairground caravan, in which she practiced her trade of astrologer, has been torched. Benjamin, professional scapegoat, packs his bags and waits for the police to pull him in on suspicion but it is Ther se they arrest. The family and their Apache friends slip smartly into gear to scour Paris in search of bona fide culprits and get their beloved sister out of gaol. In Pennac s pacy and over-the-top crime caper, he brings to life again the extended Malauss ne family and the Parisian suburb of Belleville that is their home territory.

About the Author :
DANIEL PENNAC was born in Casablanca in 1944, his father being in the army. He travelled widely in his youth, in Europe, Asia and Africa, and has been employed in a number of capacities, including woodcutter, Paris cab driver, illustrator and schoolteacher. His Belleville Quintet, written round the character of Benjamin Malaussene, has been published in many languages.

Review :
"If you want to read something that's witty, inventive, shocking and great fun, pick up a Pennac" "Daniel Pennac's Belleville novels, centring on a character called Malaussène, have apparently acquired cult status in France. It is easy to see why" "There is a precision of touch here that is something like the "lightness" Italo Calvino identified in the best folk literature . . . A crime novel that breaks off to discuss the relative merits of Kafka, Antelme, Defoe and Cioran is an odd, but oddly entertaining crime novel"
