I don't have it at hand and can't check from the French text,
but it does
sound familiar, in its modern-day Chandlerish mode. (Which I
happen to
like.)

Michael Connelly, LOST LIGHT.
No guesses as to the point of it all, but I'll be interested
to find out.

damn, you guys are good. anyway the point of it all was
simply to state my opinion that Connelly more than any other
practitioner, is the one that truly carries Chandler's mantle
at this point in time. the Harry Bosch stories, with their
deepset melancholy and profound sense of Los Angeles as a
character have always felt influenced by RC. and now that
Bosch is no longer a police detective, but a private
operative, solving cases without clients, and doing it in the
1st person rather than the 3rd, this connection to Chandler's
work has never been stronger.
and although I knew more than one person on the list would
guess correctly, really, I'm flabbergasted how quickly you
guys got this
so much for my meaningless little contest
