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. Montale has resigned from the force, but when his cousin's son goes missing he is dragged back to the mean streets of a violent, crime-infested Marseilles.
