Like many of the greatest noir thrillers, Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot
begins with a classic, even clichéd set-up: Martin Terrier, the hired killer, needs
just one more big job so that he can turn in his guns, return to his native village
to find and marry his childhood sweetheart, and retire.
But nothing goes as expected, his “last job” turns out to be a set-up that
results in a bloody shoot-out from which Terrier barely escapes with his life, and
soon he’s on the run from not only the authorities and his treacherous ex-bosses
but also the members of a crime syndicate still seeking revenge for an earlier hit
on one of theirs. (We won’t even mention what they do to his cat.)
With Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot, Tardi, at the top of his form, once
again puts his lushly efficient neo-clear-line style in the service of Manchette’s
gleefully brisk
prose for a spectacularly dark, violent and fast-paced
crime thriller that will delight fans of their previous collaboration,
West Coast Blues.
by Jacques Tardi (Adapter), Jean-Patrick Manchette
