Publisher Description
In Total Cheops kämpft Fabio Montale noch mit den Widersprüchen seiner Arbeit als Polizist, in Chourmo steigt er aus. In Solea, dem dritten Band der Marseille-Trilogie, kommt er wider Willen einer befreundeten Journalistin zu Hilfe, die monatelang über die südfranzösische Mafia recherchiert hat und jetzt von Killern verfolgt wird. In einem atemberaubenden Finale stößt er an seine Grenzen und geht den Weg, der ihm schon so lange vorgezeichnet ist.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Izzo's taut concluding volume to his memorable Marseilles trilogy (after 2006's Chourmo), former cop Fabio Montale is still struggling to find a purpose in the wake of his leaving the police force. Despite his pessimism, Montale allows himself to hope again after he falls hard for a woman named Sonia he meets in a bar; noir fans will be less than surprised that the flicker of romantic promise is quickly extinguished in this case by a Mafia hit man targeting Montale and people he cares for to get him to divulge the location of his journalist friend, Babette, who's written an expos detailing mob links with politicians and the police. Babette's sophisticated analysis of organized crime's effect on the working classes, plus Izzo's unsparing treatment of his cynical hero, elevate this far above most Mafia-themed fiction.
