Total Cheops with delivery to Ireland

The first part of the Marseille trilogy, whose main character is Fabio Montale, a lone police officer with a weakness for women, who prizes chilled cassis and whisky, Thelonious Monk and Joseph Conrad, and whose work in the housing estates of Marseille never lets him forget that, in the end, he can rely only on himself...
We meet him as he searches for the murderers of his childhood friends. Once they committed thefts and robberies together, but later their paths diverged. Years on, Fabio has to return to the past. The investigation to track down those responsible for the double murder exposes not only the dark side of the coastal city and the social and political tensions that are part of its everyday life, but also forces the hero to look for a new meaning in life.
