Synopsis
Une usine qui ferme dans les Vosges, tout le monde s’en fout. Une centaine de types qui se retrouvent sur le carreau, chômage, RSA, le petit dernier qui n’ira pas en colo cet été, un ou deux reportages au 19/20 régional et puis basta.
Sauf que les usines sont pleines de types dangereux qui n’ont plus rien à perdre. Comme Martel, le syndicaliste qui planque ses tatouages, ou Bruce, le bodybuilder sous stéroïdes. Des types qui ont du temps et la mauvaise idée de kidnapper une fille sur les trottoirs de Strasbourg pour la revendre à deux caïds qui font la pluie et le beau temps entre Épinal et Nancy. Une fille, un Colt .45, la neige, à partir de là, tout s’enchaîne.
Aux animaux la guerre, c’est le roman noir du déclassement, des petits Blancs qui savent désormais que leurs mômes ne feront pas mieux et qui vomissent d’un même mouvement les patrons, les Arabes, les riches, les assistés, la terre entière. C’est l’histoire d’un monde qui finit. Avec une fille, un Colt .45, la neige.

With a girl, a gun and acres of snow.When a factory that employs most of a small town is scheduled to close - to the despair of the workers and disdain of the overlords - things start to fall apart. The disenfranchised factory workers have nothing left to lose. Martel, the trade union rep with innumerable tattoos and Bruce, the body-builder addicted to steroids resort to desperate measures. A bungled kidnapping on the streets of Strasbourg goes horribly wrong and they find themselves falling prey to the machinations of the criminal underworld. "[An] uncompromising portrait of a working class eaten up by the frustration and resentment of having been abandoned, and sinking into alcoholism and racism". -- Paris Match The first novel by Goncourt-winning Nicolas Mathieu: a literary crime novel about class, poverty and the criminal underworld.
