«Total Khéops» is the crime novel by Jean-Claude Izzo, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (288 pages, in French).
Fabio Montale, a Marseille police officer, investigates a crime that drags him to the city's margins and forces him to revisit his own past. The plot intertwines with a portrait of a Marseille in full transformation, marked by immigration, corruption and violence, described with a blend of rawness and lyricism.
Total Khéops, first installment of Jean-Claude Izzo's Marseille trilogy, «La trilogie Fabio Montale», was published in the Série Noire collection in 1995 and won the Trophée 813 for best French-language novel.
For readers of crime and mystery fiction, as well as those interested in contemporary French literature.
Jean-Claude Izzo was a French poet, playwright, screenwriter, and novelist who achieved sudden fame in the mid-1990s with the publication of his three neo-noir crime novels Total Chaos, Chourmo, and Solea, featuring as protagonist ex-cop Fabio Montale, and set in the author's native city of Marseille. All have been translated into English by Howard Curtis.
