The second novel in Izzo's acclaimed Marseilles trilogy is a touching tribute to the author's beloved city, in all its colour and complexity. Fabio Montale is an unwitting hero in this city of melancholy beauty. Fabio Montale has left a police force marred by corruption, xenophobia, and greed. But getting out is not going to be so easy. When his cousin's son goes missing, Montale is dragged back onto the mean streets of a violent, crime-infested Marseilles. To discover the truth about the boy's disappearance, he infiltrates a dangerous underworld of mobsters, religious fanatics, crooked cops, and ordinary people whom desperation has driven to extremes.

Fabio Montale is the perfect protagonist in this city of melancholy beauty. A disenchanted cop with an inimitable talent for living who 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. "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

Fabio Montale, acculé à la démission parce qu'il s'occupait trop bien de sa mission dans les quartiers nord, reprend du service pour se lancer à la recherche de deux adolescents disparus la veille de la rentrée des classes. Trop sensible, trop lucide, il est confronté à la montée des agitateurs de crécelles sécuritaires, du chômage, de la drogue et des intégrismes de tous ordres.

Chourmo, c'est l'esprit de la chiourme, des anciens galériens. Par extension, c'est un état d'esprit qui pousse à aller vers les autres, esprits dont Fabio Montale se fait le juste représentant. À Marseille, les galères - entre le F.N., les extrémistes islamistes et la Mafia - on a l'air de bien connaître.

Chourmo, deuxième volet de la trilogie marseillaise de Jean-Claude Izzo, est dédié à la mémoire d'Ibrahim Ali, abattu le 24 février 1995 dans les quartiers nord de Marseille, par des colleurs d'affiches du Front national.
