Solea

"Ex-cop, loner, would-be bon vivant, Fabio Montale returns in this conclusion to Jean-Claude Izzo's Marseilles Trilogy. Italian Mafiosi are hunting journalist-activist Babette Bellini, and the body count is growing as they close in on their prey. In desperation, Bellini seeks help from her former lover, Montale. Before he has time to shake off his most recent hangover, Montale is receiving sinister phone calls from hard-voiced men with Italian accents who want him to find Bellini for them. Like a woman he can't leave, like strong liquor he can't refuse, Marseilles lures Montale back into its violent embrace."--BOOK JACKET.Izzo, Jean-Claude is the author of 'Solea', published 1999 under ISBN 9782840112853 and ISBN 284011285X.
