«Chourmo» is the crime novel by Jean-Claude Izzo, published by Ediciones Akal in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Fabio Montale leaves his retirement to investigate the death of Guitou, a young man whose only fault was loving a girl of Algerian origin. He soon finds himself caught in a web of mafias and fundamentalisms that leaves a trail of corpses across Marseille. The novel thus portrays the city's murkiest, most violent and multicultural face.
Second instalment of Jean-Claude Izzo's Marseille trilogy, featuring detective Fabio Montale and preceded by Total Khéops. Translated from the French by Matilde Sáenz López.
For readers of crime and detective fiction who appreciate urban plots, protagonists with a past and the social portrait of a Mediterranean city like Marseille.
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.
