“There's a new name to add to the pantheon of the sons and daughters of Cain: Dave Zeltserman. His new novel, Small Crimes, is ingeniously twisted and imbued with a glossy coating of black humor... The plot of Small Crimes ricochets out from [its] claustrophobic opening, and it's a thing of sordid beauty.”- Maureen Corrigan for NPR’s Best Books of 2008

“Unputdownable. Classic noir, dark, funny, shocking and absolutely no compromise. Pure magic of the blackest kind.”—Ken Bruen

“A superbly crafted tale. Like the very best of modern noir, this is a story told in shades of grey. This deserves to be massive.”—Allan Guthrie

“Zeltserman delves deeply into his specialty, an unorthodox look at the criminal mind. It kept me turning pages and glancing over my shoulder.”—Vicki Hendricks

Set in the pressure cooker of a very small town and following the promise of Dave Zeltersman’s earlier novels (Fast Lane and Bad Thoughts), Small Crimes is an explosive noir that brings the claustrophobic hell of Jim Thompson and James M. Cain right up to date.

Dave Zeltserman lives in the Boston area with his wife, Judy. He is a die-hard Patriots and Red Sox fan, and when he’s not writing crime fiction, he spends his time working on his black belt in Kung Fu.

About the Author:
Dave Zeltserman lives in the Boston area with his wife Judy; is a die-hard Patriots and Red Sox fan; and when he's not writing crime fiction, he spends his time working on his black belt in Kung Fu.
From Publishers Weekly:
Starred Review. Zeltserman's breakthrough third crime novel deserves comparison with the best of James Ellroy. Joe Denton, a corrupt cop, has just been paroled from the county jail in Bradley, Mass., after serving seven years for his drug-fueled assault on D.A. Phil Coakley, whose face was horribly disfigured in the attack. Denton's parents, with whom he's staying temporarily, are uncomfortable having him back in their lives. Likewise, Denton's former colleagues on the force are uneasy. Gang boss Manny Vassey, who's ill with terminal cancer, threatens to cut a deal with Coakley that would expose the tangled webs of graft and violence that have governed Bradley. When the local sheriff demands that Denton take out either Vassey or Coakley to preserve the town's dirty secrets, Denton's hopes for a return to some version of normality are dashed. Zeltserman (Fast Lane) pulls no punches, even as he makes Denton's manipulations, evasions and self-deceptions comprehensible. (Oct.)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: OKAZ. Joe Denton sort de prison.Cet ancien flic est tombé pour incendie volontaire et tentative de meurtre sur la personne du district attorney qui commençait à amasser des preuves contre lui. Ce n'est pas un " vrai " criminel, c'est plutôt un joueur qui s'est laissé griser par l'argent facile et a fini par commettre l'irréparable. Toutefois, Denton n'a mouillé personne lors de son procès, ce qui lui a valu de purger sa peine à la prison du comté et de sortir au bout de sept ans.Mais voilà, sa femme a disparu dans la nature avec ses filles, et ses parents, gens humbles et honnêtes, ont du mal à le regarder en face. De plus, le " parrain " local, Manny Vassey est atteint d'un cancer incurable et voudrait bien soulager sa conscience auprès du district attorney avant d'aller rejoindre son créateur. Ses révélations pourraient incriminer gravement Joe Denton qui doit donc gagner du temps.Il se lance dans un jeu du chat et de la souris avec le bureau du procureur, tout en croisant les doigts pour que le parrain meure au plus vite.Ce roman dont on tourne les pages avec avidité est situé dans l'ambiance lourde et étouffante d'une petite ville du Vermont, digne de l'univers de Jim Thompson, où règnent la bassesse et la corruption. Joe Denton est un personnage mémorable, à la fois ambigu et poignant, qui a chuté mais cherche une issue.Selon ses propres mots, Dave Zeltserman a voulu " écrire un thriller noir contemporain qui, au final, serait une quête de la rédemption, la réussite ou l'échec de cette quête n'étant révélés qu'à la dernière page." Impossible de lâcher ce roman. Si l'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions,il est aussi sans doute rempli de ces petits crimes sans importance. "Ken BruenDave Zeltserman est un ancien développeur de logiciels. Il se consacre aujourd'hui à l'écriture et au kung-fu. Il vit dans la région de Boston. Crimes sans importance est le premier roman de l'auteur publié en France. - Nombre de page(s) : 266 - Poids : 409g - Langue : ANGLAIS (ETATS-UNIS) - Genre : Policier / Thriller grand format RIVAGES THRILLER.
