The Marseilles trilogy, featuring ex-cop Fabio Montale, is a classic of European crime fiction. Its publication was the catalyst for the foundation of an entire literary movement, Mediterranean noir, and made its author into a celebrity overnight. When his oldest and best friend is murdered, Fabio Montale turns his back on a police force marred by corruption and takes the fight against the local mafia into his own hands.
