Used book – Alabama 1963, Ludovic Manchette, Christian Niemiec

Birmingham, Alabama, 1963. The lifeless body of a young black girl is found. The police show little interest. But then other young black girls start to disappear...

Bud Larkin, a grumpy, alcoholic, and racist private detective, agrees to investigate for the father of the first victim.

Adela Cobb, a young black widow and mother working as a cleaning lady, wonders: "Little girls don't just disappear like that..."

Two people who are seemingly opposites. At first glance.
