Simon Rose
Created by Max Geneve

An intriguing new French PI, SIMON ROSE, is not, in several aspects, a typical hardboiled private investigator--he works as a detective by accident; he is not proficient with guns and with fists. He lives with his mother in Paris. He sleeps and mues too much, but he is also good-looking and he doesn't disdain love affairs with nice young women.

There are no info about Max Geneve. According to his photo on the rear cover he can't be much more than thirty. Le tueur du cinq du mois was printed in the much appreciated Série Noire. I have a feeling that we haven't seen the last of Simon Rose and his adventues.
