Reviews

Praise for Izzo's Marseilles Trilogy
"One of the masterpieces of modern noir."
--Michael Dirda, Washington Post "Izzo's ability to describe Marseilles and to make his readers feel the multiracial reality of that city so directly and authentically is fascinating."
--Andrea Camilleri, author of the bestselling Inspector Montalbano series "Terrific."
--The New York Times "A talented writer who draws from the deep, dark well of noir."
--Washington Post "A sensationally readable mystery...Full of fascinating characters."
--The Chicago Tribune "Like the best noir writers--and make no mistake, he is among the best -- Izzo not only has a keen eye for detail . . . but also digs deep into what makes men weep."
--Time Out New York "Noir at it's finest."
--Hirsh Sawhney, Times Literary Supplement
