Jack Beaujolais

Eccentric! Wild! Gory! Hilarious!

On an entirely normal, drab day in Sherbrook, Canada, we find ourselves in the dazzling company of Jack Beaujolais, private detective. We follow him around on his cynic path through the city and his remarkable lifestyle. Nothing much happens. There are no inexplicable and sudden events, planes don’t crash from the sky in flaming wreckages, no short-order cooks get stabbed by jealous gay lovers, and no lobster fishers get their hands severed in freak gardening accidents...

Jack Beaujolais, a tough and weather-beaten middle-aged man in his trademark gator boots and Wild West moustache, is on a mission... on foot or in his orange 1971 Datsun 240Z. He goes through town looking for... for what? Anything to stop his boredom and hatred. He finds himself surrounded by idiots and dangerous maniacs: local advertisement tycoon Milo Vantard, freehearted coffee ladies in the local diner Babette, July and Fabienne, and ‘Grand Bob’ Daumier, a politician who will stop at nothing, not even murder!, and his daughter, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. All this wrapped in spicy language, piquant adventures and the enlightening contemptuous, sarcastic, misanthropic, inspiring presence of Jack Beaujolais, private detective.
