Turf Wars by Olivier Norek

Turf Wars by Olivier Norek

A second blistering crime novel set in France's most notorious suburb, by a police officer turned million-copy bestseller and key writer on Spiral

Fans of the French TV series Spiral (with its unvarnished vision of urban crime) will find Olivier Norek's Turf Wars a pungent addition to his Banlieues Trilogy. . As bracingly authentic as its predecessor. -- Barry Forshaw * Financial Times *

Former cop Olivier Norek was one of the writers on the crime drama Spiral . . . there's no denying the visceral excitement and latent compassion of this policier par excellence

-- Mark Sanderson * The Times *
Norek served in the Seine-Saint-Denis Police Judiciaire for eighteen years and everything he writes is thrilling. This is a prime example of crime fiction as social history, but it is far more gripping - and moving - than any work of history * Literary Review *

France makes moody crime films and TV, and Norek's latest Euro bestseller sizzles with similar noir atmosphere

* Peterborough Telegraph *

Dark, gripping and exciting . . . There is not only a great sense of place but also of characterisation

* Shots Magazine *
You will have to go a long way to find a better hard-boiled policier * Mark Ripley Books of the Month *
