Hundred pages in, a wonderful & quite gripping historical potboiler. Reminds me a little, in tone & prose style, of Alan Furst’s spy novels. Anyone one read more of Hurley’s ‘Spoils of War’ series? 282

Reposted by Andrew NetteAndrew Nette @pulpcurry.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Jacques Deray’s THE OUTSIDE MAN (1972). A French hitman is sent to LA to kill a crime boss & then betrayed. Jean-Louis Trintignant is solid as a Euro cult Parker, backed up by great supporting cast. Strong parallels with Boorman’s POINT BLANK, including a great outsiders eye on American culture. 3296
