«Ville noire ville blanche» is the crime novel by Richard Price, published by 10-18 in paperback (620 pages, in French).
The plot begins when Brenda Martin, a white woman, arrives at a hospital in Dempsy claiming that a Black man has snatched her son. The report triggers an investigation as delicate as it is tense, while the novel portrays two cities marked by hatred, violence and indifference, in a decaying urban America.
The work was originally published as «Freedomland» in 1998, translated from English by Jacques Martinache. It was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the fiction category.
For readers of noir fiction, criminal investigation and urban thrillers with a social backdrop.
Richard Price is an American novelist and screenwriter, known for the books The Wanderers (1974), Clockers (1992) and Lush Life (2008). Price's novels explore late-20th-century urban America in a gritty, realistic manner that has brought him considerable literary acclaim. Several of his novels are set in a fictional northern New Jersey city called Dempsy.
