Jonathan Ames: The Past without Pictures, Pushkin Vertigo, pub date: October 2026,

Written in the tradition of a crime noir novel, the protagonist, a rookie homicide detective, Maria, kills a young teenager on her first assignment and learns that her father, a convicted fellon who killed a child during a drunk driving accident, has also been killed the same. day. She decides to look into her fathers murder when attending his funeral and all hell breaks loose. There are parts of the novel that are gripping and well plotted but all in all I felt there was something missing, maybe the plot could have been more developed.  A thrilling short novel I read on a long journey, thank you for the early proof Pushkin
