* Scerbaneco (In '60s Italy, a private eye in a class by himself)(in French 10/18 --translated in English?)
* Sébastien Japrisot (a French classic -- almost all his -few- books are masterpieces; in French Livre de Poche --translated in English too)(
* Peter Robinson [Inspector Banks](was long thought of a "Inspector Rebus's younger brother"; but a voice for himself --good detection, interesting British life in a small town...in French Livre de Poche)
Now AFAIK they're all in pbook format 
Well well well if I think of anything else? |
thanks YGG for these great recommendations ! i will add them all to my list. actually i think i've read some Scerbanenco a long time ago, but i might be thinking of another italian writer (i can't remember his name now, unfortunately
).
