Marseille Noir (Akashic Noir)

"Gritty from east to west, Marseille is the perfect venue for the latest in Akashic's venerable Noir series. While earlier entries in this 70-volume series have sometimes been bleak and atmospheric, this one is all red meat....Just as Marseille is tailor-made for noir, this dark banquet is tailor-made for noir fans."
--Kirkus Reviews

"The stories...are united by vivid and evocative writing, as well as by a distinctive take on the city. Another strong entry in a series that should be required reading for crime fans."
--Booklist

"This entry in Akashic€s noir series navigates the seedy side of Marseille with 14 stories that range from the creepily introspective to the downright brutal."
--Publishers Weekly
