DESCRIPTION - The second Benjamin Malaussne novel set in Paris's explosive Belleville quarter. His title is Quality Controller, but Benjamin's function at The Store is scapegoat for the impatience, sometimes the rage, of the customers. So sweet is his nature, so eloquent his contrition, that most of the indignant and mis-used victims withdraw their complaints. But there is also the little matter of the bombs that keep exploding very close to where Benjamin is standing. Suspicion falls on him, even as he and his voluptuous mistress have begun to unearth an even deeper mystery, a sinister and sordid conspiracy whose unravelling will expose yet one more seam in the dark heart behind the beguiling veneer of contemporary Paris. Daniel Pennac's novels of life in the Belleville Arab quarter, which began with The Fairy Gunmother, are as funny as Damon Runyon's stories, as thrilling as Raymond Chandler's novels, and as wild as the best of Carl Hiaasen. With The Scapegoat, Pennac has once again struck just the right balance. inventory #25671. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers z25671
