The book features an illustration typical of mid-20th-century French detective novels: a man in a suit, driving a car, illustrated in a realistic and dynamic style, with a color scheme dominated by midnight blue, gray, and red tones. The title appears in red capital letters on a blue background, with \"Commissaire SAN.ANTONIO\" at the bottom of the cover, underlined by a red and blue band, and \"Éditions Fleuve Noir\" in white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft cover shows visible signs of wear: creasing, particularly on the spine, slightly rubbed corners, and some superficial marks related to handling and age.

Gourdon, with his signature visible at the bottom right, reflects the typical aesthetic of post-war French detective novels, with an instantly recognizable retro atmosphere for fans of popular literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe spine of the book is not visible in this image, but the compact format and thickness suggest a classic paperback, characteristic of Fleuve Noir editions of that era.

The book is presented upright on a wooden table, in front of an old bookshelf, highlighting its authentic character and decorative dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis paperback is second-hand and sold as is.
