Fatale: Jean-Patrick Manchette

Aimee Joubert is a drop-dead gorgeous femme fatale with a penchant for bloody murder. Ever on the lookout for opportunities for self-enrichment, she finds plenty to like as a newcomer to the detestable backwater town of Bleville: small-minded parochialism, self-interested parish politics, rampant corruption, dormant grudges, scandals just waiting to be uncovered – yes, there’s a killing to be made here. So Aimee starts to wreak her stylish mayhem on Blevillie’s despicable bourgeoisie. But just when she’s ready to take them all to the cleaners, something snaps, and the master manipulator falls prey to her wayward passions.
