Mark,
The title you question as Manchette's translated,
is in fact the title given to the original novel in French
(LE PETIT BLEU DE LA COTE OUEST), literally translated. In
French it's a play of word referring to the English and to
the the jazz style. So it's the same book as "Three to Kill",
that in English I know only with this last title.

suggested:
"Just a few: "Low Bite" by Sin Sorocco; "Falling Angel" by
William Hjortsberg; "A Little West-Coast Blues" by
Jean-Patrick Manchette."
Does this mean another Manchette has been translated into
English? I can't say enough good about his Three to Kill and
Prone Gunmen.
Is Low Bite Sorocco's first, with the main character getting
out of jail? It was okay, but I don't remember a whole lot
else and never went on to the next (Edge City?).
If we're recommending relatively recent authors who are off
the beaten path, let me add Jack O'Connell (when's his new
book comng out?).
