A private detective called the 'Alligator' investigates a crime for a client who has been wrongly jailed, with the help of two underworld friends and much Calvados. Noir style, imagine a gritty voice-over and B&W film. Quite a male outlook, violence, women as sex objects, though the Colombian drug queen La Tia is interesting. Taut but functional writing. I half-guessed the plot so it lacked tension. Realistic & based on his life in part.
