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 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.\u003cbr\u003eSolea is Izzo's heartfelt cry against the criminal forces corrupting his beloved city. It is his farewell to Marseilles and to its ideal protagonist, Fabio Montale. It concludes an unforgettable trilogy that epitomizes the aspirations and ideals of the Mediterranean noir movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Izzo's Marseilles Trilogy\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"One of the masterpieces of modern noir.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e-bestselling author of the Inspector Montalbano series \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Sensationally readable . . .
