Sunlit suspense

Article Abstract:

Crime writers are becoming increasingly popular in Europe, and Jean-Claude Izzo's works are selling well. He writes about Marseilles, where he was born, and examines conditions in parts of the city that are not often exposed to view. Marseilles has long attracted immigrants and is also affected by corruption, poverty, unemployment, racism and drug trafficking. Izzo writes with passion and his characters are likeable, and he embodies and expresses the city's contradictions.

The golden years: a better class of crime

Article Abstract:

A London barrister achieved a draw in a May 8, 1992 debate at the Folio Society on the issue of crime fiction being more interesting than real crime. He recited the details of several fascinating real life incidents, including the case of a man who beat a robber to death with his wife's prosthetic leg.
