«Chourmo» is the crime novel by Jean-Claude Izzo, published by Ediciones Akal in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Fabio Montale, a retired ex-cop in Marseille, abandons his rest to investigate the death of Guitou, a young man dragged by a love that put him before something he should not have seen. The investigation plunges him into a web of mafias and fundamentalisms, while Marseille, with its streets and atmosphere, becomes more than just a setting.
It is the second instalment of the Fabio Montale trilogy and belongs to Akal's Literaria collection, number 44. Translation by Matilde Sáenz López.
For readers of crime and detective fiction who enjoy plots with a social backdrop and a Marseille as much a protagonist as Montale himself.
Jean-Claude Izzo was a French poet, playwright, screenwriter, and novelist who achieved sudden fame in the mid-1990s with the publication of his three neo-noir crime novels Total Chaos, Chourmo, and Solea, featuring as protagonist ex-cop Fabio Montale, and set in the author's native city of Marseille. All have been translated into English by Howard Curtis.
