Louis de la Hattais “ Salut et éternité!” (Allo Police, SEG, 1959)

There were several series of “Allo Police”, in different shapes, between 1941 and 1966 for circa 200 titles. 

Louis de la Hattais, one of the many pen-names of Louis Fournel, was the main signature of “Allo Police” with different styles of crime stories - from “whodunit” to “hard-boiled” - or maybe better said “hard-drunked”?

Here is a story with De La Hattais’ heroes Paterson & Jurry, agents from FBI.
