Cocaine

Discover the captivating world of Cocaine by Pitigrilli, a remarkable novel that was honored as a Library Journal Best Fiction in Translation in 2013.

With 258 pages of engaging prose, this novel immerses readers in the vibrant and chaotic atmosphere of Paris. Published in 2013, Cocaine is an essential addition to any fiction lover's collection.
