The Prone Gunman
The Prone Gunman (original title in French: La Position du Tireur Couché) is a novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette about Martin Terrier, a hired killer who wants out of the game. All he wants is to settle down and marry his childhood sweetheart. After all, that's why he took up this profession! But the Organization won't let him go; they have other plans. Once again, the gunman must assume the prone shooting position. A tour de force, this violent tale shatters as many illusions about life and politics as bodies.

Manchette wrote The Prone Gunman in 1981. The novel has since been translated from French to English by James Brook, published in 2002 by City Lights Publishers (ISBN: 9780872864023), named the "Top Mystery Book of 2002" by the The New York Times Book Review.

The novel is now being transformed into a film, The Gunman, directed by Pierre Morel, and starring Sean Penn, Javier Bardem, and Peter Franzén.
