Synopsis
Ugo, Manu, and Fabio grew up together on the mean streets of Marseilles, where friendship and loyalty mean everything. As adults, Ugo and Manu are drawn into the city’s criminal underworld, and when both men are murdered it is left to Detective Fabio Montale to avenge their deaths. A disenchanted cop with an inimitable talent for living, Montale turns his back on a police force marred by corruption and racism and, in the name of friendship, takes the fight against the mafia into his own hands.

Review
Praise for Total Chaos
“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, author of the bestselling Inspector Montalbano series
“Izzo’s Marseilles is ravishing. Every street, cafe and house has it’s own character.”
―The Globe and Mail
“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
“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
“The Marseilles trilogy may be the most lyrical hard-boiled writing yet.”
―The Nation
“Reading Izzo’s novels, you’re bound to cry sooner or later.”
―Le Monde
“Rich, ambitious, and passionate.”
―Washington Post
“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 (Starred review)
“One of the masterpieces of modern noir.” ―Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
