"Just as Raymond Chandler and James Ellroy made Los Angeles their very own, so Mr. Izzo has made Marseilles so much more than just another geographical setting." * The Economist *
"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
"One of the masterpieces of modern noir." * The Washington Post *
"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 *
"Izzo provides another guided tour of the underbelly of Marseilles (so extensive that it seems to swallow the whole city) that's bracing in its wit and velocity." * Kirkus (starrred review) *
