«Le Caïd» is the organised crime novel by Loup Durand, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (372 pages, in French).
The narrative spans half a century of the Marseille underworld, between 1923 and 1969, where four great Corsican caïds intertwine their ambitions with the history of France. The account, based on reconstructed and recreated documentation, combines action, drama and power struggles in organised crime.
The work was originally published in 1976; this edition bears the subtitle «récit» and corresponds to number 4974 of the Le Livre de Poche collection.
For readers of crime and historical fiction interested in organised crime, interwar Marseille and 20th-century France.
