Chourmo by Jean-Claude Izzo
Book Two in the Marseilles Trilogy
This second novel in Izzo's acclaimed Marseilles trilogy is a touching tribute to the author's beloved city, in all its color and complexity. Fabio Montale is an unwitting hero in this city of melancholy beauty.
Fabio Montale has left a police force marred by corruption, xenophobia, and greed. But getting out is not going to be so easy. When his cousin's son goes missing, Montale is dragged back onto the mean streets of a violent, crime-infested Marseilles. To discover the truth about the boy's disappearance, he infiltrates a dangerous underworld of mobsters, religious fanatics, crooked cops, and ordinary people whom desperation has driven to extremes.
Jean-Claude Izzo was born in the city of Marseilles in the year 1945. Izzo is the author of The Lost Sailors and A Sun for the Dying, as well as the Marseilles trilogy (Complete Chaos, Chourmo, and Solea). Izzo is largely regarded as the father of the modern Mediterranean noir genre. At the age of 55, he died in the year 2000.
