Critiques

La couverture et la 4ème de couv. promettent beaucoup : le contenu est largement à la hauteur, on est transporté dans les ghettos noirs de Detroit avec Tommy, un jeune blanc, fou de blues et de Martika, "chien sans maître" qui trace sa route au milieu de la mafia. On est en empathie total avec ce jeune voyou. La fin du roman est tout en finesse !
