Joseph Koenig

    14 de diciembre de 1907 – 1 de enero de 1997

    Joseph Koenig crea ficción de género duro con un toque visceral. Como antiguo reportero de sucesos, su obra se sumerge en las sombrías realidades de estafadores, policías y asesinos, a menudo ambientadas en paisajes evocadores y crudos. Koenig explora el lado oscuro y cómico de diversas comunidades, desde el submundo ucraniano de Nueva York hasta el brutal aislamiento del helado Vermont. Tras una notable pausa, regresó con un trepidante misterio que refleja su propia experiencia como periodista de revistas de crímenes reales, demostrando su habilidad perdurable para tejer narrativas de suspense.

      Paris, 1941. American jazz musician Eddie Piron has lived in the city of light since before the war began. But Paris under occupation is not what it once was, and things are looking a lot darker for a man like Eddie. The great jazz artists of the day, like Django Reinhardt, are lying low or being swept away under the racial policies of the Nazis. But the SS has a paradoxical taste for the "negermusik" and their favorite gathering place is La Caverne Negre, where Eddie leads the band.One night the drummer for "Eddie et Ses Anges", an indifferent musician but an essential part of the band, disappears. When his body is found in the Seine the next day, Eddie becomes entangled in the murder investigation. He soon finds himself in the clutches of a mercenary intelligence broker who discovers why Eddie Piron is really in Paris—and what he's really hiding.
